Training & Events

MARC will host a hybrid pre-bid meeting for all interested consultant teams to ask questions and gain clarity around any elements or requirements of this RFP.

A virtual option is also available. Please RSVP to receive meeting credentials. 

These meetings are working sessions for regular district business.

Since the early 2000s, quick build active transportation projects have gained popularity as an inexpensive and flexible way to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity. Using paint, posts, and pilot treatments, cities have been able to test ideas and deliver visible change quickly. But what comes after the quick build stage? How do these projects evolve into safer, more durable, and more attractive infrastructure without waiting for full corridor reconstructions? 

2026 is here, and we'll be talking about the World Cup.

Please register by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20, if you'd like to order a lunch.
