3 Practice: Enterprise Linear Referencing System
Subject Area: Operations
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Phil Bell
Title: Data Coordinator, Open Data NY and Deputy Director, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Program
Email: Phil.Bell@dot.ny.gov
Description: NYSDOT maintains several web-based applications to store and share asset management- and operations-related data, including the Comprehensive Asset Management/Capital Improvement Viewer (internal-only), Traffic Data Viewer, Prescreening Tool for Oversize/Overweight Vehicles, Road Status/Damage Assessment System (internal-only), and the Emergency Operations Application (internal-only). Recently, NYSDOT decided to consolidate the data available through these applications and others into one comprehensive ELRS using Esri's Roads and Highways platform and AgileAssets software. NYSDOT anticipates that the resulting ELRS will serve as the agency's comprehensive roadway network to maintain consistent location references and asset information across all business units. ELRS users will be able to geolocate anything along the highway system according to a common linear referencing. This will make it easier to catalog current assets, events (e.g., crashes), and any changes to the highway system. In the broader sense, the ELRS will help provide a common "language" that will help staff more effectively communicate with one another, prioritize projects, and make more informed and strategic investment decisions. Further, through the ELRS, NYSDOT will only need to complete updates to safety, asset management, and roadway attribute data once, rather than multiple times as is currently necessary (since currently many of the existing applications contain overlapping datasets). Overall, ELRS will streamline data collection and maintenance, which will likely lead to improved efficiencies for the agency as a whole.
   
4 Practice: Geodetic Control Viewer
Subject Area: Asset Management
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Kevin Hunt
Title: GIS Manager
Email: khunt@dot.state.ny.us
Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: The Geodetic Control Viewer allows the user to search for geodetic survey control, both horizontal and vertical, within New York State. The GIS features associated with the viewer are based on data extracted from the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Database in September of 2002. Users can retrieve NGS data sheets, directly from the NGS database, and submit recovery information to NGS, without leaving the viewer.

The Geodetic Control Viewer site has been developed as a reference tool for users that need precise geographic reference positions and elevations.

5 Practice: OpenNY
Subject Area: GDC
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Phil Bell
Title: Data Coordinator, Open Data NY and Deputy Director, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Program
Email: Phil.Bell@dot.ny.gov
Description: NYSDOT contributes data to OpenNY, a data portal launched in 2013 by the State's Office of Information Technology Services. OpenNY serves as a tool to make the State's information more accessible and transparent, and complements a 2013 State Executive Order on "Using Technology to Promote Transparency, Improve Government Performance and Enhance Citizen Engagement." The portal includes downloadable datasets compiled from Federal, local, and State agencies and also offers direct access to a suite of "transparency sites" designed to make information more accessible to New York citizens (e.g., one of the sites, provides information on the "New NY Bridge" which will replace the Tappan Zee Bridge).

6 Practice: Over Size / Over Weight Pre-Screening Tool (OS/OW PST)
Subject Area: Planning
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Kevin Hunt
Title: GIS Manager
Email: khunt@dot.state.ny.us
Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: The Over Size/ Over Weight Pre-Screening Tool (OS/OW PST) has been developed to help the transportation industry and the general traveling public with choices in both OS/OW and legal vehicle routing. This tool, a web-based map viewer, helps to identify appropriate routes of travel and travel restrictions. Travel restrictions depict physical constraints such as closed or weight-restricted bridges as well as constraints of a more temporary nature, such as maintenance or construction projects.

7 Practice: Real-Time Transportation Status System
Subject Areas: Operations
Planning
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Kevin Hunt
Title: GIS Manager
Email: khunt@dot.state.ny.us
Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: The Real-Time Transportation Status System provides up-to-the-minute conditions that affect transportation status throughout New York State. Through an interactive, Google-based map interface, users can focus on a specific area and see reports on accidents, construction, road/lane closures, and weather conditions. Additionally, camera feeds showing actual driving conditions are offered for numerous metropolitan areas throughout the state.

Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: FHWA's Winter 2010 GIS in Transportation Newsletter describes New York State DOT's development and deployment of a Road Status and Damage Assessment (RSDA) application, which enables the agency to better meet data collection requirements associated with emergency management. For more information, please see https://www.gis.fhwa.dot.gov/newsletters/Newsletter_Winter2010.aspx#editorial.

9 Practice: ShareGIS
Subject Area: GDC
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Kevin Hunt
Title: GIS Manager
Email: khunt@dot.state.ny.us
Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: NYSDOT staff will contribute to the State's ShareGIS initiative. This initiative, which began in May 2013, gained momentum when the State's Office of the Chief Technology Officer hired its first Geographic Information Officer (GIO). The GIO is working with a cross-agency advisory group called the GIS Team (which includes NYSDOT staff) to prioritize standardization of the State's geospatial data. To implement this vision, the GIO and GIS Team are exploring options to expand the functionality of the GIS Clearinghouse: the resulting portal will be called ShareGIS. The main difference between the existing GIS Clearinghouse and ShareGIS is that the latter will host "live" GIS data, which means that users will be able to access information via a standard web browser without first needing to download and store the data. Ultimately, ShareGIS may replace the GIS Clearinghouse entirely, but ShareGIS is still in the early stages of development. NYSDOT expects that ShareGIS will contain only a few datasets upon implementation but will grow and evolve over time as more users contribute information. NYSDOT anticipates that ShareGIS will improve data-sharing between Federal, state, and local agencies by making data more accessible to all parties. The ShareGIS portal will allow a broad range of stakeholders, including the public, to access data on demand and will minimize uncertainty about where to locate certain datasets that are now housed in disparate locations.
   
10 Practice: State GIS Clearinghouse
Subject Area: GDC
State: New York
Organization: New York State Department of Transportation
Contact: Kevin Hunt
Title: GIS Manager
Email: khunt@dot.state.ny.us
Phone: (508) 485-7152
Description: NYSDOT participates with other State agencies on data-sharing efforts, such as the State GIS Clearinghouse, which is maintained by the State's Office of Information Technology Services. This publically accessible clearinghouse compiles and shares geospatial information from over a thousand Federal, local, and State agencies-as well as Tribal governments, non-profit organizations, and academic organizations. GIS Clearinghouse contributors are by definition also part of the NYS GIS Data Sharing Cooperative. While many GIS datasets on the GIS Clearinghouse are available for download by the public, some datasets are only restricted to Cooperative members (public sector, not-for-profit, academia). Cooperative members must sign a data-sharing agreement that outlines the terms through which geospatial data is shared.
