Data Integration
The Colorado Experience
What's Next?
CDOT's Asset Management and data integration initiatives will continue to
evolve as decision-support needs change and as new technology and
approaches become available. Meanwhile, CDOT is working toward its goals:
- Short-term: CDOT has tied high-level goals and objectives to
employees' daily work by establishing key program objectives at the
chief engineer's level. The regions, which report to the chief engineer,
are held accountable for meeting these objectives through their performance
reviews. In 2004, integrating the Chief Engineer's
Objectives with the performance measures program at all levels will
ensure that key objectives are met.
- Long-term: The enterprise data system will continue to grow as more
data systems are converted. Eventually it will support the 5-year programming
and 20-year planning cycles.
- Long-term: CDOT will continue to communicate its accomplishments
in the areas of performance measures and Asset Management
to the legislature and elected officials. As external communication
increases, data integration becomes even more critical to providing
reliable information to transportation stakeholders.
