GIS for Environmental
Streamlining and Stewardship
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other spatial data tools are playing a bigger role in both transportation and environmental programs. They have become a key element in the efforts of many States to streamline their environmental review process and develop cooperative efforts with environmental resource agencies.
Purpose
This Workshop is intended to share information on how GIS is being used within existing environmental programs and to support streamlining initiatives with some examples from the 2003 TRB Peer Review on environmental spatial data as well as the state of the art around the country. Sessions are flexible enough to support State discussions of cooperative efforts with Resource Agencies. The Workshop can be held by itself or with other environmental or GIS workshops.
Audience
The primary audience for the workshop should be managers and staff of State planning and environmental programs and the environmental resource agencies they partner with.
Length
The workshop is adjustable from ½ to 1 ½ day sessions and may be held in conjunction with other discussions of the environmental or GIS programs at the local or State level. There is no cost associated with the workshop other than providing a venue for the class.
