GIS and E911/NG911 Peer Exchange: Summary Report now available.
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Geographic Information System (GIS) in Transportation program sponsored a three-day virtual peer exchange in June 2022 to bring together practitioners of GIS applications to discuss and learn about how State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and E911 agencies are building and managing their road networks and how DOT and E911 agencies can collaborate to have one road network for the State.
Previous Peer Exchange reports can be found here.
What We Do
The GIS in Transportation program facilitates the knowledge transfer of GIS skills, best practices, and technical resources among State, regional, and local transportation organizations. This website captures the respective lessons learned and makes them available to all GIS practitioners and transportation professionals.
FHWA HEPGIS Application
The HEPGIS website is an interactive, web-based geographic map server that enables users to navigate, view, and print geospatial maps using only their web browser.
Geospatial Data Collaboration
Geospatial Data Collaboration (GDC) is an FHWA Every Day Counts 2 initiative that encourages transportation agencies to use geospatial tools to share data, increase collaboration, and improve the quality and speed of transportation decision-making.
