8 Practice: NCDOT's GIS Use for Southeast High Speed Rail Constraint Mapping
Subject Area: Planning
State: North Carolina
Organization: North Carolina Department of Transportation
Contact: David Foster
Title: Rail Environmental Programs Manager
Email: dbfoster@dot.state.nc.us
Phone: 919-508-1917
Description: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the Federal Highway Administration North Carolina Division and the Federal Railroad Administration are leading the development of the tiered Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Southeast High Speed Rail Program. The rail line would connect Washington D.C. with Charlotte, North Carolina and eventually would provide continuous high-speed rail service between Boston, Massachusetts and major markets farther southeast. The Tier 1 EIS has been completed, and a Record of Decision was signed in October 2002. Preparation of the Tier 2 EIS began in late 2002. NCDOT, along with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transporation, is using GIS to conduct initial constraint mapping for the Tier II Environmental Study. NCDOT is using GIS to examine different alignments for the rail corridor segment between Petersburg, Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina. Since the rail corridor interacts with the Interstate highway system at several locations along the proposed corridor (I-85 and US Route 1 run parallel to the proposed rail corridor), GIS has helped planners identify grade crossings, while avoiding alignment choices that could adversely affect mobility on the Interstate system, as well as the surrounding environment.
