Background
The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) is a Federal fee-for-service organization of the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT). The Volpe Center’s mission is to improve the nation’s transportation systems. In partnership with sponsoring agencies, the Volpe Center provides technical research and analysis services to the US DOT, other Federal agencies, state agencies, and other organizations in connection with the transportation-related components of their missions.
Volpe Center IDIQ
Emprata, as a member of the MacroSys team, was selected to provide operations research and analysis (ORA) services as part of a Volpe Center IDIQ. The IDIQ is very broadly based, covering every mode of transportation, a variety of sponsoring organizations, and a variety of functional areas within transportation and logistics ORA services. The work addresses the Government’s analysis and assessment of transportation systems and issues from a variety of perspectives including system performance and effectiveness, supply and demand forecasts, impact analysis, socio-economic analysis, industry analysis, policy and regulatory development, organizational performance, strategic planning, operations and maintenance assessment, risk assessments, capital investment needs, infrastructure and equipment management, metrics development, environmental impacts, regulatory compliance assessments, health and safety analysis, transportation infrastructure and facility assessment, demonstration and field test analysis as well as critical technologies planning and evaluation. Projects generally address issues of national importance, requiring an appreciation of local, national, and international transportation issues and trends.
