Abstract

GIS Database and Scripting Architecture Migration at Community Transit
Track: Public Transit
Authors: Jeff Anderson, GISP

After many years of strategic waiting, Community Transit's GIS Program is now migrating its core master database and scripting architecture based upon legacy ArcInfo coverages and a suite of critical AML data processing scripts to a modern one based upon the file geodatabase and Python/ArcPy scripting. This presentation will focus on the system and database design process, the work performed, the final products, and the lessons learned in undertaking this mission critical project.
