TRANSPORTATION FOR THE NATION
(TFTN)
US-DOT’s Strategic Planning Project
Michael Terner
Other Problems
Rural places may be ignored(or not prioritized)
Licensed data cannot be readily shared
Can’t we all just get along…
And agree that there’s a common baseline foundation that’s required?
Current geometry
Basic Attributes
Maybe addresses?
Maybe linear referencing system (LRS)?
Variety of stakeholders adds their own “special sauce” on top
TFTN: Common baseline foundation of geometry, basic attributes
State DOTs: Linear Referencing System (LRS)
State DOTs: advanced attributes
Private Sector: full routability and immersive imagery
USGS: Enhanced cartographic display and labeling
US Census: Polygon topology for census geographic units
State E911: Addresses
In order to try and figure this out, US-DOT is performing a Strategic Plan
Identify what you want and need
Figure out what you’re going to do about it
Strategic Plan Identifies What TFTN might look like?
Who should be involved?
What kind of standards?
What kind of funding?
Some initial ideas…
Highway Performance Management System (HPMS)
Incentivizes Participation
Provides a recurring update cycle
Opens up the use of existing federal funding
Some initial ideas…
Each State Completes an Inventory(and keeps it current)
Statewide road inventory becomes a reporting requirement
Having the inventory keeps you eligible for US-DOT highway funding
How do states currently do it?
Partner with the Private SectorNew York, Delaware, Massachusetts, etc.
Capitalize on new opportunitiesEngage and take advantage of OpenStreetMap and
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)
Strategic Planning means talking to lots of people to get their input, ideas and reactions
