| Description: | WSDOT's Online Map Center is an interactive web mapping platform that uses ArcGIS Online to allow internal staff, State and local agencies, and the public to share and visualize data. The Online Map Center aggregates a variety of WSDOT's data layers and mapping applications. For example, the Community Planning Portal, an ArcGIS Online mapping application, helps State, regional, and local transportation planners and decision-makers better understand the transportation system in their areas by offering a "one-stop" access point for more than 27 geospatial data layers from WSDOT and other State agencies. WSDOT meets on a regular basis with other State agencies to develop authoritative standards for data shared using Arc GIS Online. | |

| Description: | The Maintenance and Operations automatic vehicle location (AVL) system allows staff to use GIS to monitor current winter storm event activities and analyze recent historic activities. The visualization and analysis is done through a browser-based mapping application. The application consumes and displays several cartographic map services and geoprocessing services. Users can control the display of a transportation basemap, orthophotography, state side treatment goals, road condition line segments, road treatment line segments, current truck locations, data terminal events, traffic cameras, weather stations, weather radar, maintenance facilities, material stockpiles and traffic slow data. The user can choose to view current or historic information. Truck locations are illustrated by a circle containing a symbol, which indicates the type/class of truck. The color of the circle shows whether trucks are currently in operation. Clicking on a truck triggers a pop-up widow that displays details regarding the truck (e.g., plow blade position, material dispersion, road temperature, air temperature, sky condition, speed). Clicking on a color-coded road condition segment triggers a pop-up widow that displays details regarding that stretch of road (e.g., "bare and dry," "bare and wet," ice, slush, packed snow, snow). Clicking on a color-coded road treatment segment triggers a pop-up widow that displays details regarding what has been done to that stretch of road (e.g., date/time, type/brand, and amount of material dispersed). The application also provides a link to tabular reports that provide details of lane miles and total material usage by State Route Mile Post (SRMP), a linear route measure used to locate events and features along a state route. The system is currently being expanded to cover non-winter operation activities. | |

| Description: | VesselWatch is an interactive map-based system which provides live WSDOT ferry service information. The map includes live GPS-based vessel locations, Ferry Terminals, camera images, and state highway traffic information. Clicking on a ferry icon will display the schedule, location heading, and speed. | |

| Description: |
The Washington Transportation Framework Project (WA-Trans) is a statewide transportation database of location-based transportation data to use in GIS across the state. WA-Trans will create an electronic map of transportation data. WA-Trans, which is currently in the pilot project phase, will contain high-quality data from all levels of government, including tribal nations. Data will include information about roads, rails, ferries, ports, aviation, and non-motorized transportation infrastructure. In addition, transportation data will work with other statewide layers being developed or in existence including hydrography (water ways), cadastral (property boundaries), and orthophotography (aerial images rectified for elevation and other factors). The data will be seamless, connected, consistent, and continuous between jurisdictions and boundaries and other framework layers and will be continuously improved. WA-Trans will be useful for a large set of business needs. WA-Trans is accomplished through partnerships with local, federal, private, tribal, and other entities. |

| 16 | Practice: | Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Patterns |
| Subject Area: | Environment | |

| Description: | The Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group (WHCWG) is a voluntary public-private partnership between State and Federal agencies, universities, tribes, and non-governmental organizations. The WHCWG is co-led by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The mission of the WHCWG is "Promoting the long-term viability of wildlife populations in Washington State through a science-based, collaborative approach that identifies opportunities and priorities to conserve and restore habitat connectivity." The working group has completed an analysis of statewide habitat connectivity patterns for 16 focal species, as well as assessments of landscape integrity patterns (a connectivity assessment approach based on "naturalness" or "human footprint") and climate gradient connectivity patterns. Reports and GIS products from these analyses can be downloaded from the waconnected.org web site. Finer scale assessment products for the Columbia Plateau ecoregion will be available in March 2012, to be followed by other ecoregional-scale assessment products as they are produced in the future. | |
