Track: Highways and Roads
Authors: Nate Reck, Frank Desendi

Since late 2013, PennDOT has been upgrading its enterprise GIS architecture focusing on evolving client-side technology while expanding its GIS reach. The project started with a small-scale user needs analysis followed by strategic planning. As a result, PennDOT developed a configurable set of GIS tools, widgets, data, and mapping services using the ArcGIS platform to provide low cost GIS tools and data. Efforts have focused on reusability, scalability, and flexibility with lower end user costs.
