This month’s newsletter highlights GIS in transportation. As the 2021
GIS-T symposium approaches, I want to remind you all of the value geospatial data and analysis has to the transportation industry.
The AASHTO Committee on Data Management and Analytics supports the GIS-T Task Force and their work in coordinating this year’s virtual symposium. There are myriad applications for spatial analysis, all of which help improve safety and efficiency for state DOTs. The opportunities to utilize geospatial data in our work to improve safety, better inform decision makers, and improve our asset management capabilities are but a few of the many applications for GIS in transportation.
I hope this month’s newsletter is informative and I hope you have an opportunity to participate in this year’s GIS-T symposium.
