GBNRTC Traffic Counting Program Year 2012 – 2016
The Greater Buffalo-Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC) is the regional decision making forum designated by the Governor to cooperatively develop transportation plans for the Erie and Niagara Counties of Upstate New York. The Council’s primary focus is on formulating regional transportation policy, planning for future transportation development, and programming transportation facilities and services based on regional travel needs.
The GBNRTC and its member governmental agencies place much reliance on the Council’s highway database. This information is the basis for modeling and forecasting traffic and for developing long-range transportation plans. The data is also useful in corridor related studies as well as assessing the impacts of specific transportation projects and development proposals.
The highway counting program develops reliable estimates of travel by area and functional classification by appropriate monitoring of the highway network. As a result, they provide useful statistics to local participants for short range improvement planning, deficiency analysis, and land use impact studies. The highway monitoring program also is used in determining trends in traffic within specific corridors and across selected screen lines and cordon lines by monitoring changes in frequency and orientation of travel.
This Request for Proposal (RFP) is soliciting cost and technical proposals for conducting the GBNRTC’s Traffic Counting Program for the next four years. Proposals will be evaluated for their comprehensiveness as well as the consultant’s demonstrated knowledge, experience and ability to conduct specified numbers of automated traffic counts.
