The MTA has put out the request for proposals for a text-message alert system that would provide real-time service alerts to the subway-riding subscribers in New York City. This alert system is part of the recommendations stemming from the investigation into the August 8 flood, and the MTA is looking for outside firms to procure a plan because they’re in-house technology cannot the anticipated one million subscribers. More on this later. [MTA HQ]
