Data Driven SDOT relies on Tableau Desktop, AutoCAD, JSON-LD and Vue.js to manage assets, maintenance and city-wide mobility. With roughly 1,200 staff and round-the-clock operations, there is a clear need for integrated data analytics, GIS and CAD-friendly workflows. Opportunity: offer an enterprise data platform that unifies asset management, maintenance scheduling and procurement dashboards, plus Tableau/Tableau Server support, CAD/BIM workflow automation and robust data governance.

Public Infra Modernization The department is actively expanding bicycle and pedestrian networks and has recently funded modular and waterfront public restrooms. This indicates ongoing capital-intensive infrastructure modernization and urban amenities. Opportunity: provide modular facility supply and management solutions, IoT-enabled occupancy and cleaning scheduling, energy monitoring, and outsourced O&M contracts for new assets.

Grants & Compliance SDOT secured federal funding (e.g., a $32M grant for security) and maintains a sizable municipal budget. This suggests a steady pipeline of grant-funded projects and complex reporting requirements. Opportunity: offer grant lifecycle management, project portfolio tracking, cost reporting, compliance analytics, and audit-ready financial software tailored to municipal funding.

Mobility Platform SDOT's mandate covers multi-modal mobility and access to regional transit, supported by a tech stack for public-facing apps and data portals. There is potential to enhance real-time transit data, API access, digital signage and curb management. Opportunity: deploy or integrate real-time data platforms, open data APIs, transit apps, and cloud-based signage/information systems.

Safety & Accessibility Core values emphasize accessibility, safety, affordability and reliability to create an equitable, sustainable city. Opportunities: deliver accessibility compliance tools, smart street lighting, safety analytics, sensor networks for traffic and air quality, and sustainability programs that improve asset longevity and energy efficiency.
