Webcasts

The purpose of the Quarterly GIS Webcast is to promote the use of GIS for improved decision-making in transportation planning by cultivating a community of GIS practitioners who can share their knowledge, experiences, and advice.

The intended audience for webcasts will be planners from State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), FHWA Division Offices, state and federal resource and regulatory agencies. There will be a diversity of GIS experience and skill level in the audience and some classes can be formatted for advanced users.

FHWA has recently taken an active role in promoting GIS and geospatial technologies through courses and workshops, and now through webcasts. FHWA encourages State DOTs to exchange their knowledge of geospatial technologies and their experiences with using them. In addition to providing support for GIS activities, FHWA is seeking champions to share their GIS knowledge, information about new data and analysis tools, and innovative applications.
