Apply GIS to resilient infrastructure projects using federal funding
Areas that GIS can support
- Prioritizing projects
- Climate resiliency
- Equity in transportation
Fund the right project at the right time
Making the most strategic investments involves finding the optimal balance among factors such as safety, congestion mitigation, and economic development to achieve the greatest societal benefit. GIS analysis can help you understand the trade-offs between different investments, ensuring that agencies' dollars deliver the greatest impact. GIS is a platform of insight that helps decision-makers achieve smarter transportation infrastructure investments that benefit the community.
Design lasting transportation networks
GIS is an essential tool to address current climate-related vulnerabilities, identify areas with future risk, and determine where to focus mitigation efforts. Design resilient infrastructure and stay aligned with federal funding objectives with spatial analysis that enhances nearly every aspect of infrastructure planning and project management.
Use GIS to
- Inventory and manage the conditions of assets.
- Understand asset criticality, determined by social and economic importance, and identify available alternatives.
- Run prediction models that reveal patterns that help develop long-range plans.
Ensure transportation systems are fair and equitable
Location is central to understanding inequity, especially in transportation where mobility and accessibility vary with demographics. GIS provides a framework for analyzing social imbalances in communities near infrastructure investments so agencies can achieve greater equity and meet new federal funding equity requirements. Deliver enhanced mobility to jobs, schools, housing, and health care with location-based data and analysis in GIS.
