ICF Consulting Awarded 5-Year, $9 Million
Transportation Contract
|
FAIRFAX, VA, October 28, 1999 - ICF Consulting (ICF)
has been awarded an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contract
to address the full range of environmental issues related to
the transportation sector. Under the contract, ICF's work will
range from policy analysis and model development to design and
execution of communications and outreach strategies. With a
potential value of up to $9.2 million, this contract will be
for a period of one year, with four one-year options.
Developing policies to address the impacts of transportation
on the environment is complicated, not only by the ubiquitous
nature of transportation and its importance in the economy,
but also by the dispersal of control over the nation's transport
system among Federal, State, local, and private entities. Because
the interactions among transportation options and their environmental
impacts are so complicated, sophisticated modeling and analysis
is often necessary to assess impacts and evaluate options.
"The transportation sector is under increasing scrutiny as one
of the primary areas to reduce air pollution and greenhouse
gas emissions," said ICF Senior Vice President, Isabel Reiff,
who will manage the contract. "Recognizing that these are complex
issues that involve multiple stakeholders, ICF Consulting will
help the EPA formulate policies, develop models, and conduct
comprehensive outreach to the community. We believe that these
efforts will also contribute to smart growth and livability
initiatives."
ICF has over two decades of experience in addressing air quality
and global climate change issues, analyzing technologies that
create pollution, and evaluating alternative technologies and
fuels that reduce emissions. ICF's team includes experts in
complex transportation and environmental modeling, economic
and social analysis, multistakeholder processes, and the development
and use of outreach and education tools in implementing voluntary
programs.
