Transportation for the Nation
Hi Everyone,
Hopefully more of you will start to tune in daily to the NSGIC Blog site like I do. I put a shortcut in my startup folder for some of my favorite websites, including the NSGIC Blog, All Points Blog, and other relevant sites that I feel that I need to review on a regular basis to keep up to speed on our constantly evolving industry.
Transportation for the Nation now has 2 co-chairs approved by the NSGIC board, Frank Winters from New York and me from Pennsylvania. Both of us have extensive experience in the Transportation industry.
Over the next few weeks, we will be completing the TFTN committee charter and starting to engage those of you who have volunteered to work with us on this important endeavor. Please bear with us as we work to define an initial vision and strategy in the charter for TFTN and become an approved committee, blessed by the NSGIC board to proceed and start on this initiative.
I expect to ponder on this over the holidays and emerge with some concrete ideas on where we can best spend our combined energy to take a fresh look at the Transportation layers as part of each state's Spatial Data Infrastructure. As we all know, this is a broad and deep topic, and as co-chairs, Frank and I want to give it our best efforts and get started on the right path to make this initiative successful! We want to be very careful not to redo work already completed by some of the very active transportation groups, such as GIS-T, AASHTO, TRB, FGDC, etc. Communications and liaisoning with these groups will also be a key priority as we get started down the path.
I plan to use the NSGIC Blog to communicate some of our TFTN activities as we proceed. Please tune in and support the NSGIC Blog! We need more of you to read and post if the NSGIC Blog is to succeed and become a productive communications tool.
Happy holidays to everyone!
Regards,
Jim
