Abstract:

The Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) has been a leader in the design, implementation and management of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for over 25 years. Increasing complexity and analytical demands on transportation planning have required LCOG to gain better expertise in applying GIS solutions on transportation planning problems. This paper describes some of the past and current practices and experiences of LCOG's GIS-T efforts. Those efforts have evolved as local, state, and federal demands on transportation planning have required more functionality out of the GIS. This evolution is described to illustrate the problems faced by local transportation and GIS staff to meet these demands. One of the keys to the success of implementing GIS-T at LCOG has been the ability of the transportation planners at LCOG to leverage the work done by the local GIS partner agencies. Building and maintaining a regional GIS for non-transportation activities has provided a direct benefit to the local transportation planning process. The remainder of the paper focuses in the organizational strategies that have kept the GIS in place, and thriving, for over 25 years.
