| Description: | The Internet Traffic Monitoring System (iTMS) displays traffic counts and traffic count information, including truck percent and traffic pattern group. The iTMS allows users to look up traffic data and traffic monitoring sites by address, zip code, street name, state route number, or intersection. The information is displayed on an interactive map that is accessible to both internal and external users. | |

| 3 | Practice: | Linking Planning and NEPA Environmental Screening |

| Description: | PennDOT and its planning partners use GIS to execute environmental screening against identified transportation problems. The environmental screening occurs at the earliest stages of planning and is completed in an automated environment. PennDOT uses Oracles Spatial Tools to screen locations against over forty (40) environmental datasets, answering most of the fourteen (14) NEPA questions. The screening process provides scores from 0 – 10 based on proximity of the resource to the problem location. Upon completion, which usually takes less than one minute, a planner or engineer receives the highest score for each question and a detail report outlining scores and distances for all datasets. The screening scores are stored with engineering and planning information in online forms to help the region select and prioritize projects. | |

| Description: | The VideoLog, which was initially developed as part of a Maintenance and Operations pavement survey, displays 20-foot interval photographs of road segments. The Internet version of the VideoLog offers thumbnail images, while an intranet version offers Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) staff full-size digital images and additional reporting capabilities. Comprehensive updates to data displayed in the VideoLog occur periodically; National Highway System roads data are updated on an annual basis, while data from all other roads are updated in alternating years. | |

| Description: | The MPMS IQ application is a web-based GIS mapping application for highway and bridge projects on the Commonwealth's Twelve Year Transportation Program and Regional Transportation Improvement Plans (TIPs). This system was designed for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to support the process of providing improvements to state highways and bridges, as well as to aviation, public transit, and rail freight modes of transportation. MPMS IQ allows users to map and obtain other information for highway and bridge projects. Searches may be performed for projects by county, legislative district, planning partner, or PennDOT engineering district. Additionally, projects can be mapped individually by MPMS project ID number.

| Description: | PennShare (currently in a pilot testing phase) uses an ArcGIS Online platform to provide a centralized portal for a broad range of internal and external users to access, share, and visualize PennDOT's geospatial data, particularly project and environmental information. PennShare provides an easy-to-use mechanism for disseminating geospatial information to executive decision-makers and other users through a cloud-based application. A centralized group within PennDOT's Bureau of Planning and Research will administer PennShare and will be responsible for reviewing all of the geospatial information that individual data owners submit to PennShare and ensuring that it meets quality standards. | |

| Description: |
Pennsylvania's Historical and Museum Commission and Department of Transportation recently launched an interactive Web site offering transportation project planners detailed information on more than 120,000 archeological and historic sites in the state. The Cultural Resources Geographic Information System (CRGIS) is expected to save transportation planners and others time and money.
Until now, interested parties had to make arrangements to visit the map room at the museum commission in Harrisburg and pore over paper maps and other files. A typical transportation consultant's visit to the map room would require at least half a day, a costly per diem expense for a transportation agency. Now, consultants can often do the work entirely at their desks, in 10 or 15 minutes. If a research resource is not available on CRGIS, the system will identify the documents needed, reducing the length of museum commission map room visits. At present, the CRGIS Web site has catalogued the basic information on all the historical and archeological sites recorded in museum commission files. In addition, the Web site offers GIS maps showing the location of all recorded historic buildings and most of the recorded archeological sites. Additional information is being added to the site daily. To view the interactive website, visit https://share.phmc.pa.gov/pashare/landing. |

| Description: | The Proposal Screening Tool allows users to review potential project proposals in the planning and program development stages of transportation project delivery; identify potentially affected environmental resources early; and begin to document Purpose and Need for NEPA documents during planning. The tool also fosters collaboration and facilitates the integration of land use planning with transportation planning. The tool gathers environmental, asset-related, and traffic data and other known information and displays them in a project proposal form that can be circulated for review by various stakeholders. | |
