The U.S. DOT’s GIS Strategic Plan 2026–2030 points to a more strategic role for GIS in transportation.
For a long time, GIS in transportation was treated mainly as a support function. It helped teams visualize assets, organize data, and improve mapping. Important, yes, but still often seen as something that sat beside planning and operations rather than inside them. What stands out in the U.S. DOT’s GIS Strategic Plan…
