Volpe Featured on New Cable TV Series
Volpe, The National Transportation Systems Center, was recently showcased on a new cable TV series, Your Federal Government. The 30-minute episode features Director Robert Johns discussing Volpe's history and our unique role in the federal government, functioning as both a consultant and a federal agency.
The show provides insight into Volpe's project portfolio, featuring narrated footage of some of our critical labs and systems. A peek inside the Human Factors Lab includes footage of both our train and airplane simulators. The episode then focuses on Volpe's Maritime Lab, where the award-winning Maritime Safety and Security Information System (MSSIS) is introduced. Traffic flow management is the final system highlighted in Volpe's episode.
The Greater Boston Federal Executive Board recently launched Your Federal Government, a new cable TV series that disseminates information about various federal agencies. The shows are not political and range from 30-60 minutes long. Eleven additional episodes, featuring other federal agencies, are also available on YouTube.
