While there may be other uses of this word, you often hear it in politics or law enforcement, usually in the expression "to ramp up"-- which means to increase, and carries the meaning of doing something to demonstrate strength. Now that we are getting closer to the election, both candidates seem to be ramping up their campaigns and running more commercials attacking each other. Because there were complaints about pickpockets at the airport, the police are ramping up the number of patrols.
