"According to Roberto Avila, CDOT’s GIS applications and  data services unit manager, undertaking such a project the old way—using laptops and pen and paper—would literally have taken the agency months.  By switching to tablets equipped with Spike and Survey123, the inventory collection times went 'from months to minutes.'"

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Geospatial Online Transportation User's Group (GOTUG) Webinar Wednesday, June 6, 2018 1:00-3:00pm EST "Prioritizing Barrier Replacement with GIS" (Kaitlin Marousis; UDOT) The Utah Department of Transportation’s barrier and guardrail assets directly support the Department’s strategic goal of Zero Crashes, Injuries, and Fatalities. In an effort to more systematically apply limited funding to known statewide needs, including physically aging assets and hazardous or outdated designs, UDOT’s Traffic and Safety Division has leveraged GIS analysis and tools to identify and prioritize barrier replacement or upgrades based on asset design and risk exposure. This has included a suite of tools, such as geospatial analysis to assign AADT and speed limits to each barrier, weighted prioritization scoring by design and exposure, a web app to visually inspect deficient barriers and avoid field visits, and a Story Map to communicate findings to Department leadership. Using GIS tools and analysis, existing asset data was leveraged to help inform decision-making and prioritize fiscally responsible maintenance of physical assets.  "Environmental Impact Assessment/Streamlining with GIS" (Ryan Arthur; NCDOT) The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently modifying its approach to the project delivery process in order to reduce the time it takes for a project to move from concept to final delivery. The agency is looking to utilize GIS data analysis, application development, programmatic agreements and workflow modifications to implement automated processes to supplant many of the manual processes currently in place. This presentation will discuss in detail the overall project goals, current state of the project, obstacles, success stories and deliverables. This project is a major effort within the agency and brings together a variety of stakeholders, proving to be a model for how a large enterprise can look critically at itself and transform into a 21st century operation.

Govloop/Esri Webinar:  "Rebuild, Rethink, Refocus – How GIS Can Strengthen Our Nation’s Infrastructure" Thursday, May 10, 2018 2:00pm EST   The nation’s infrastructure is at a critical crossroads.  Roads, sewers, bridges, and transportation networks are in major need of upgrades, and simply put, the sustainability of our infrastructure is in question.  But where do state and local governments begin when it comes to prioritizing projects or choosing to fix vs. rebuild?  Responding to the infrastructure crisis requires a different approach.  By using geodesign and geographic information systems (GIS) to transform the way governments analyze infrastructure challenges, they can find cost-effective and data-driven solutions.   Join the conversation on Thursday, May 10 th  at 2:00pm EST to learn how GIS can transform the way governments implement infrastructure improvements.   Specifically, you’ll learn how to:   Use GIS to rebuild with priority to maximize your investment. Rethink current infrastructure to meet socioeconomic needs and changing lifestyles. Refocus your ideas around an Internet of Things (IoT)-driven, future-ready agency.   Additional details and registration information can be found here:  https://www.govloop.com/training/rebuild-rethink-reformulate-gis-can-strengthen-nations-infrastructure/. ...
