    TRANSPORTATION
    MODEL UPDATE

    The region is preparing to
    respond to new demands
    of the new Environmental
    Protection Agency MOVES air
    quality model. This model
    requires better speed data
    than the existing model can
    produce.

    BTPO is currently pursuing
    update of the socioeconomic
    data based on 2010 Census
    and employment data from the
    Idaho Department of Labor.
    The responder will have input
    to the process, the collection of
    the data is the responsibility
    of BTPO.

    The Responder may assemble
    a team of sub-consultants as
    necessary who can conduct
    these services in accordance
    with this Request for Proposals
    (RFP) and the Scope of Services
    to be developed. The Responder
    is to be responsible for reviewing
    the current structure of BTPO's
    travel demand model and the
    updating of model attributes
    as needed. Responder
    proposals may suggest a basic
    framework for a Scope of
    Services to be developed in
    consultation with BTPO.

    Funding for this work is being
    provided in part by the Federal
    Highway Administration (FHWA),
    the Idaho Transportation
    Department, and the Bannock
    Transportation Planning
    Organization. This study must
    meet all applicable federal,
    state, and local requirements
    of these funding agencies.
