Upcoming GIS in Transportation Webcast
Making Right-of-Way (ROW) Accessible
Please join the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for its 23rd installment in a quarterly series of webcasts highlighting applications of geospatial technologies in transportation. The webcast will take place on Tuesday, September 9th from 2-3 PM ET. Nina Safavi, Survey & GIS Project Manager, and Ryan Cloutier, Plans & Titles Chief in the ROW Section of the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), will discuss and give a live demonstration of their new web-based GIS ROW catalog. Until recently, ROW information at VTrans was stored in a variety of files and systems which were independent of each other, making a search for information about any given site difficult and time-consuming. To access the webcast, please see the information listed below: Audio: 1-877-336-1274 (call-in); 7838594# (passcode) Webroom link: http://fhwa.adobeconnect.com/gistransportation The intended audiences for this webcast series are planners and GIS practitioners from State Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, FHWA Division Offices, and State and Federal resource agencies.
