Opportunity Summary:
The Greenhouse Gas Commuter Transportation Survey opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO NOI 2301100206) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources category. It was posted on September 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2010, and an archive date of October 16, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is $99,987, which is also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the agency was looking for academic or university-based expertise rather than private-sector vendors through this particular vehicle.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent only, meaning it served as an early signal of planned funding activity rather than a full solicitation for immediate award. The underlying purpose is to help the Department quantify greenhouse gas emissions associated with employee commuting. To do that credibly, the Department determined it needed to survey its entire workforce to document commuting habits, such as how employees travel to work, how far they travel, and how frequently. Those commuting patterns can then be translated into emissions estimates and incorporated into the Department's broader greenhouse gas inventory.
A central driver for the project is compliance with Executive Order 13514, which required federal agencies to measure, report, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Employee commuting is a significant component of many agencies' indirect emissions profiles, and it is difficult to estimate accurately without primary data. The Department therefore sought specialized survey support to ensure the commuter survey would be methodologically sound and useful for inventory and planning purposes. The needed expertise includes survey design (crafting questions that capture mode choice, distance, frequency, carpooling, telework, and other relevant variables), survey administration (distribution strategy, response tracking, follow-up methods, and data management), and data analysis (cleaning responses, calculating commute metrics, and converting travel behavior into defensible emissions estimates).
The expected outcome described in the notice is a set of survey results that can serve as the baseline and analytical reference point for future greenhouse gas reduction strategies. In practical terms, the baseline would allow the Department to quantify current commuting-related emissions and then evaluate the impact of future interventions such as expanded telework, transit subsidies, carpool programs, alternative work schedules, or facility siting and parking management changes. By establishing a clear pre-intervention snapshot, later surveys or updates can show whether emissions reduction efforts are working and where additional policy changes might yield the largest benefits.
Although the listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," the funding and ceiling indicate there was a defined budget for the work, and the "Notice of Intent only" language suggests the agency may have been signaling an upcoming cooperative agreement action rather than committing to a competitive award at that moment. The CFDA field is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often appears in announcements that do not align neatly with a single standard assistance program catalog entry.

What is the purpose of the project described in the notice?
The purpose is to help the Department quantify greenhouse gas emissions associated with employee commuting by surveying its entire workforce about commuting habits (such as travel mode, distance, and frequency) and translating those patterns into emissions estimates that can be incorporated into a broader greenhouse gas inventory.
Why is the Department seeking a commuter transportation survey?
The notice explains that employee commuting can be a significant part of an agency's indirect emissions, and it is difficult to estimate accurately without primary data. The Department determined it needed a workforce-wide survey to document commuting habits so emissions can be calculated credibly and used for inventory and planning purposes.
What compliance or policy driver is mentioned in the notice?
The project is tied to compliance with Executive Order 13514, which required federal agencies to measure, report, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What kinds of commuting details would the survey collect?
The notice indicates the survey would document commuting habits including:
- How employees travel to work (mode choice)
- How far they travel (distance)
- How frequently they travel (frequency)
- Carpooling behavior
- Telework participation
- Other relevant variables needed for defensible emissions estimates
What expertise or services does the notice say are needed?
The notice describes a need for specialized survey support, including:
- Survey design: crafting questions that capture mode choice, distance, frequency, carpooling, telework, and related variables
- Survey administration: distribution strategy, response tracking, follow-up methods, and data management
- Data analysis: cleaning responses, calculating commute metrics, and converting travel behavior into defensible greenhouse gas emissions estimates
What is the expected outcome of the project?
The expected outcome is a set of survey results that can serve as a baseline and analytical reference point for future greenhouse gas reduction strategies, allowing the Department to quantify current commuting-related emissions and evaluate the impact of future interventions.
How might the baseline results be used in the future?
The notice states the baseline could be used to evaluate future interventions such as expanded telework, transit subsidies, carpool programs, alternative work schedules, and facility siting or parking management changes, by comparing later updates or surveys to the initial "pre-intervention" snapshot.
