(Assume) It's March: Do You Know Where Your DOT GIS Folks Are?

In mid-March, the nation's transportation-GIS community will gather in Houston, Texas, for GIS-T. They'll meet the week following the NSGIC Mid-Year Conference in Annapolis, Maryland.

The annual GIS for Transportation Symposium is sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It will include a wide variety of presentations and discussions about transportation-related GIS issues.

My personal favorite? "Trials and Tribulations of Completing the World's Largest Orthophotography Project." From Texas, of course.

GIS-T traditionally includes a State Summary and Roll Call of the States similar to those at NSGIC gatherings. This year's GIS-T State Summary survey includes some questions that highlight the relationship between DOT GIS staff and state GIS coordinators, an important component in Transportation for the Nation.

At the very least, state GIS coordinators may want to touch base with their transportation partners to see if they will be in Houston.
