Data Transfer Solutions Earns Contracts from Colorado DOT and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Nevada

ORLANDO - Data Transfer Solutions, LLC (DTS), based in Orlando’s Avalon Park, recently earned two contract awards from the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in Nevada.

A. M. “Trey” Fragala III, AICP, PMP, chief operating officer at DTS, said the Colorado DOT extended its contract with DTS for another year at an estimated value of $112,000.

New work for Colorado DOT includes a Data Access User Needs Study and maintenance of the Online Transportation Information System (OTIS) that DTS developed for Colorado DOT.

OTIS includes six different applications that supply transportation information in the form of maps, pictures, tables, and reports, Fragala explained.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency contract, valued at an estimated $50,000, includes work to enhance security, reporting and functionality of the Tahoe region’s Defensible Space Database, which includes the land area surrounding important structures such as communications towers and utilities.

“We are developing an online map viewer that will give planners a clear picture of the defensible areas they must protect in the event of wildfires,” Fragala explained.

“This information gives first responders the opportunity to stop fires from reaching important structures,” he said.

Data Transfer Solutions, LLC is an Orlando-based firm that provides asset management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transportation planning/engineering, web design, database/software applications, and video and multimedia production services to local governments and regional and state agencies throughout the U.S.

Hotels in New York, Washington, D.C., Florida offer Valuable Packages, Special Incentives to Improve Bookings during Summer Travel Season

MAITLAND, Fla. - CRSHotels.com, one of the nation’s largest online select hotel reservations systems, reports that hotels in New York, Washington, D.C. and Florida are developing valuable packages and special incentives to improve bookings during the summer travel season.

“Many of the packages and special incentives are uniquely valuable because smaller, select hotels are competing with major chain properties for guests,” said Carlos Giraldo, president of CRSHotels.com.

The online booking agency, which posted sales worth more than $18 million last year, is working with hotel clients to develop and promote the packages, Giraldo said.
“Select hotels can offer substantially more value in a package or incentive offer because they aren’t governed by corporate mandates and chain hotel requirements,” Giraldo said.
