The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s (DVRPC) staff will discuss how GIS has played an important role in how they visualize, analyze, evaluate, and manage their Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). They will talk about the types of evaluation and analysis they perform with their TIP data layers and other work program projects such as the Long Range Plan, Environmental Justice, and Congestion Management Process. They will also demonstrate and highlight their TIP web mapping application and how they are important tools to help visualize the location of TIP projects, quickly view current funding and detailed information about a project, and collect public input in an easy-to-use web interface.
John Parker will present Pennsylvania DOT’s (PennDOT) custom project application and highlight some of its key features including how it was developed and evolved into the main web application for the public. With the goal of a one stop shop for all projects’ information, the problems that needed solving were threefold. The first problem was to know what was under construction or what is going to happen this year, an idea that was driven by PennDOT’s press office. The second problem was to update PennDOT’s ACT 89 transportation projects and P3 projects with legislators. Finally, the third problem was to get the STIP/TYP plans to the public in a way the general public could understand. PennDOT was able to put it all together.

Reports on Geospatial Data-Sharing
Now available
Three reports explore how State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies are developing and using geospatial tools to support increased collaboration and improved information-sharing. These objectives are associated with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Geospatial Data Collaboration (GDC) initiative, which encourages State DOTs and others to use geospatial tools to streamline and improve transportation decision-making. The reports are now available online.
