Vendor relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements with firms possessing proven experience in regional transportation forecasting and data analytics. Operated under the Houston-Galveston Area Council, the Data Analytics and Research unit serves as the technical arm for regional transportation planning across 13 counties in Southeast Texas.
