Description: | UDOT has included invasive species in its decision-making process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act. The agency has documented potential environmental impacts and listed appropriate best management practices as mitigation commitments for all projects that have the potential to spread or introduce listed weeds. With UDOT's ROADVEG system, which uses GIS to inventory invasive plants along with other transportation-related data, vegetation management professionals can track the spread of invasive plant species or monitor the progress of mitigation strategies. Via an ArcView GIS display, users are able to query and display various vegetational attributes as needed. To date, about 1,360 linear miles of Utah roadways have been field-assessed and scored. As funding becomes available, the remainder of the state's major roadways will be inventoried. | |

Description: | UPLAN is a cloud-based, interactive mapping tool that compiles, integrates, and displays a wide range of transportation and environmental data compiled from UDOT sources and others, including State and regional agencies and the private sector. Initially developed in 2007 as a resource to support transportation planning, UPLAN has evolved to address multiple goals over time. The tool currently functions as an information clearinghouse, a platform to support geospatial analysis of transportation projects, and as a mechanism to improve collaboration within UDOT and between the agency and its stakeholders. UPLAN users include staff from UDOT, natural resource agencies, and members of the public, among others. | |
