Abstract:

The US Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is conducting an outreach effort focused on state and local government GIS-T issues. As part of this effort, BTS is visiting each of the state departments of transportation (DOTs) to develop an understanding of the nationwide "state of the practice" for GIS-T. The site visit team prepares a summary report based on discussion notes and supplemental material provided by the state DOT. Following a review by the state DOT, the summary report is posted on the BTS Internet site. The State DOT Site Visit Program began in December 1996. By the end of 1997, BTS had visited a total of 13 state DOTs. This report is a synthesis of the findings and presents some preliminary insights from those initial visits. Major topics covered in this report include: organizational structure, staffing, evolutionary development, GIS software and system configuration, core GIS activities, GIS-T applications, and GIS-T research needs.

Supplemental Notes:

Additional sponsorship provided by the Highway Engineering Exchange Program, the National Association of Regional Councils, and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association.
