The John A. Volpe National Transportation System Center is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Research and Innovative Technology Administration and is a federal, fee-for-service organization.

The Volpe Center has been actively involved with a team of federal, regional and state stakeholders to integrate climate change into existing and continuing transportation, land use, coastal zone, and hazard mitigation planning processes. Other participants include their sponsors, the Federal Highway Administration, the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, along with the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, and the Department of Defense.
