Transportation GIS Vision

A long-term vision for interactive maps that connect transportation projects, corridors, communities, agencies, funding, documents, and issues.

The Vision

The GIS vision is to make transportation information visible on a map. Residents could explore projects by location, corridor, status, category, agency, or community.

Future Map Layers

  • Transportation projects
  • Communities and districts
  • Major corridors
  • Transit routes and stations
  • Rail corridors
  • Sidewalk and trail networks
  • Safety and operations issues
  • Construction areas
  • Funding geography
  • Archive and document locations

Example Map Questions

  • What projects are near me?
  • Which projects affect Route 1?
  • Where are pedestrian safety concerns being tracked?
  • Which projects are under construction?
  • Where are future BRT stations?
  • Which communities are affected by rail expansion?

How GIS Connects to TAC

GIS mapping would allow the TAC database to connect records to real locations. Each project, issue, document, meeting, or update could be connected to a corridor, community, intersection, station area, or construction zone.

Possible GIS Tools

  • Interactive project maps
  • Corridor dashboards
  • Community transportation maps
  • Project status layers
  • Document-linked map points
  • Issue tracker map pins
  • Future public search maps

Long-Term Possibilities

  • Click a project on a map and see its current status
  • Filter projects by funding source or agency
  • View archived documents by location
  • Compare projects across corridors
  • Display construction impacts and monitoring topics
  • Support multi-jurisdiction transportation mapping
