Regional Infrastructure Projects Bi-State Development actively manages multiple regional infrastructure initiatives including transit systems, tourism attractions, and freight logistics. This presents opportunities for technology vendors, infrastructure equipment suppliers, and maintenance service providers to support ongoing modernization and expansion efforts.

Public Transportation Innovation With a fleet of nearly 400 electric and diesel buses and recent pilot programs for station security enhancements, the company is investing in smart transit solutions, surveillance, and safety systems. Suppliers of transportation technology, fare collection, or security tech could find growth opportunities by engaging with BSD’s transit network.

Aerospace and Education Bi-State Development’s focus on aerospace ecosystem development and STEM career promotion through events like the Take Flight Forum indicates a demand for educational partnerships, workforce training, and industry collaboration tools, which could open doors for tech firms specializing in educational platforms or workforce development solutions.

Regional Freight & Logistics The oversight of the St. Louis Regional Freightway demonstrates a commitment to strengthening freight infrastructure and multimodal transportation. Logistics software providers, freight management systems, and infrastructure maintenance companies could benefit from partnerships with BSD to improve regional freight efficiencies.

Leadership and Technology Adoption Recent leadership additions and investments in surveillance and safety technologies reveal BSD’s openness to innovative solutions in legal, operational, and security domains.
