Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority Modernizes Manual Procurement Processes with PlanetBids

Overview

The Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA) is responsible for providing public transportation services to the greater Corpus Christi, Texas, area. With a combined operating budget ranging between $30 to $40 million annually, and a procurement spend of approximately $10 to $15 million a year in Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), the agency needed an efficient and transparent procurement solution.

Before 2025, CCRTA’s procurement process was largely paper-based and manual, leading to inefficiencies in vendor management, bid tracking, and compliance oversight. With increasing procurement demands, the agency sought a modern procurement software platform that could streamline workflows, increase vendor outreach, and ensure regulatory compliance. They chose PlanetBids end-to-end procurement platform to help bring them into the digital procurement age.
