Abstract
 Linear Referencing Road Centerlines: Getting Started in Boulder County Track: Transportation Author(s): Janie Pierre, John Mosher, Amanda Hargis Boulder County, Colorado, is creating a countywide basemap of road centerline locations to be used for linear referencing. Data on road segments that relate to local road maintenance funding, asset management, pavement management, and the printed road map are the county Transportation Department's priorities. Other departments are interested in using a new basemap, too. This paper discusses how we started our linear referencing database in 2005. Issues include planning for future uses, GIS modeling, editing geometry and topology, creating a geodatabase, and learning to use the Esri linear referencing tools for creating routes and event tables. Critical "getting started" questions included "How long should our routes be?" and "What should we use as a route ID?" Funding, communication, and collaboration are also discussed.
