16 Communication Evaluation for Replacement Radio Equipment The transit service is seeking to replace its existing mobile radios, base station and hand held units with upgraded models of equipment that will provide the necessary capabilities of rapid and efficient communications with dispatch staff and operators in the field. The hand held units being replaced are necessary for operations staff monitoring field activities and for county staff monitoring services, safety concerns, oversight, and are necessary during a declared emergency for communication and coordination with emergency operations. The current equipment was purchased with FY03 grant funding and the technology involved with this equipment is now outdated and does not meet the requisite requirements for maintaining constant communications necessary for service delivery and the safety and security of passengers, operators and equipment. County communication infrastructure will be upgrade for P25 compliance over the next months. The transit service radio equipment is not P25 compliant and there will no longer be functional once the infrastructure upgrade is completed.
