The conference will be organized and conducted by TRB. This conference will focus on three major areas: examination of modeling methodologies; review of applications of existing models by decision makers in all levels of the Government and the private sector; and identification of related data needed to support modeling efforts. FHWA has the lead in conducting multimodal freight transportation activities within the U. S. Department of Transportation, has initiated a Freight Model Improvement Program (FMIP) to enhance the state of the art and the state of practice in freight modeling at the national, regional, and local levels. Through FMIP, FHWA hopes to involve broad sections of the transportation community in determining needed improvements in freight modeling and ways to meet those needs. Because TRB will organize and conduct the conference no other known source is available to provide the service. This is a Simplified Acquisition and the anticipated award date is on or about July 5, 2005.
