The national attention of the transportation industry has once again focused on decision support systems in general and executive management information systems (EMIS) and geographic information systems (GIS) in specific. The use of a GIS could allow state agencies to vastly improve their traditional missions of data collection, research, analysis, and information delivery at reducted cost while providing an opportunity to expand their scope of operations in a cost effective manner. Pennsylvania's efforts in the development of a geographic information system is the ccnetral subject of this paper.
