| Description: | The WSDOT Roads layer combines State Highways (24k lines), the Functional Class dataset (county and city arterial and collector roads and streets) and local access roads and streets from 2010 Census data. This data layer provides statewide road coverage that meets many of WSDOT's business need such as cartographic production, analysis, and other planning purposes, without copyright restrictions. This new dataset may eventually eliminate the need for commercially licensed road data products. | |
| 2 | Practice: | Enterprise Spatial Services Development |

| Description: | WSDOT is developing reusable, general purpose, server-hosted software services, rather than isolated custom applications, in order to generate software/data solutions to meet functional business needs. This approach results in the creation of a "library" of functional services that can be reused by other applications/systems. This applies to cartographic map services as well as to geoprocessing services and non-spatial services. | |
| 3 | Practice: | Environmental GIS Workbench |
| Subject Areas: | Environment Environmental Streamlining | |

| Contact: | Elizabeth Lanzer | |
| Title: | Environmental Information Program Manager | |
| Email: | lanzere@wsdot.wa.gov | |
| Phone: | 360-705-7476 | |
| Description: | Washington State and Washington State DOT (WSDOT) have become national leaders in the development of innovative methods for sharing geographic data about environmental conditions and natural resource management. Within WSDOT, the Environmental section within the agency's GIS Workbench provides a key role in this area. The WSDOT GIS Workbench is a custom built, database-driven internal application that provides customized views of the agency's shared GIS data library for various business purposes, including environmental review and documentation. The Environmental Information Program provides data administration, user training and helpdesk support for the agency's Environmental GIS users. Approximately 400 environmental and natural resource GIS datasets are available through the GIS Workbench. These data are acquired and updated, documentation is updated and posted, and then customized map displays are developed and made available through the GIS Workbench so that the data is ready to use in corridor planning, project scoping, environmental permit applications, and other documentation like biological assessments. The GIS Workbench's environmental section has become a standard operating tool for effective and efficient environmental review. The Environmental Information Program's on-going support to keep the data updated, to incorporate additional data for new requirements, and to update and train end users about the available data has been crucial to the success of the GIS Workbench. | |

| Description: | The Freight Map Application is a browser-based mapping application that focuses on Truck Performance Measure (TPM) Data. The map application helps the Freight Division deliver the Truck Performance data to WSDOT planners and other business areas for analysis. The combination of the TPM data and the basemaps help planners to visualize different freight scenarios. | |

| Phone: | (360) 570-2370 | |
| Description: | The Functional Classification Public Web Map is a site made available by WSDOT for customers who need to know the currently assigned Federal Functional Classification (FFC) of public roads. This site is updated monthly based on the results of maintaining and updating FFC as required by FHWA. This site allows agencies and planning organizations to periodically review their FFC network to ensure that roads are functionally classified correctly. | |

| Phone: | (360) 705-7645 | |
| Description: | The GeoData Distribution Catalog is a centralized database that includes much of the data produced by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), which includes transportation, political and administrative, environmental features, and county base data. The GeoData Distribution Catalog makes information available free-of-charge. Data provided on the application is used by WSDOT's transportation partners, government entities, schools, private businesses, and the general public. | |

| Description: | WSDOT produced the official State Tourist Map as a GIS database-driven product. This method of cartographic production provides significant efficiencies to the stewardship process. The map product is driven by numerous production GIS data layers; as the data is maintained, so is the map. | |

| Description: | The HPMS Local Agency Web Application is an interactive application used to annually obtain HPMS roadway section data from Local Agencies. This application is "opened" to the local agencies each year so the agencies can update their HPMS road segment information. This is traffic and inventory data required annually for the FHWA HPMS submittal. New for 2012 is a Mapping Tool which will allow each local agency to click an icon next to the description of their HPMS road segment which opens up a map of Washington roads zoomed to their highlighted HPMS segment. This is a valuable visual reference showing the selected HPMS road segment in relation to surrounding streets. | |

| Contact: | Marci Carte | |
| Title: | GIS Project Manager | |
| Email: | cartem@wsdot.wa.gov | |
| Phone: | (360) 596-8922 | |
| Description: | The ILT supports WSDOT's responsibility for establishing the locations of all collisions that take place on all public roadways in Washington State. The ILT is a map-based resource that is integrated with legacy systems and workflows used to convert collision reports into useful data. The ILT has provided significant improvements to efficiency and locational accuracy; making the data more useful for safety analysis and reporting. The next phase will be to deploy the tool to law enforcement officers in the field in order to collect location information at the scene. | |
