Implementation of an Enterprise GIS-Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is the primary provider of transit related services for the Southern California region. The MTA is dedicated to providing Southern California residents and visitors transportation alternatives and solutions. The MTA maintains an integrated transportation network called the Metro System, which includes bus and rail services, transportation demand management, bikeways, and highway improvements designed to make getting around the region easier and more economical. At the same time, the Metro System helps the Los Angeles region meet its goals for reducing air pollution. With this in mind, the implementation of an agencywide enterprise GIS to better manage the vast array of GIS activities at the MTA is underway. Not only is the GIS used for existing transportation networks, but for long range regional planning, emergency preparedness, and property management. Also, the MTA is continuing the construction extensions of the Metro System which
requires the use of real-time GIS updates. This paper describes the integration and networking involved to meet these requirements utilizing ArcInfo and ArcView solutions. The use of MapObjects to allow residents and visitors to interact with the MTA Web page is also being used.
