Transportation Visualization in the News
Texas Active Transportation Plan Inventory [GIS Tool]
The Active Transportation Plan Inventory is a map-based inventory of bicycle and pedestrian-related transportation plans published by planning entities at varying geographic levels across the state. It was created by TxDOT to assist planning entities, designers, engineers, and other planning professionals focused on active transportation with collaboration and coordination during project development by serving as a central repository of existing active transportation planning documents. Local planners are encouraged to input and update their active transportation plan details in the Plan Submission Portal to keep the inventory current and useful.

Michigan DOT Bridge Bundling Program [Dashboard]
Michigan’s bridge bundling program, which began in March 2022, will repair 78 locally-owned bridges in bundled phases. A GIS dashboard was developed where the public can check on the schedule and progress of the effort. Michigan DOT reports that by combining several contracts into one, bridge bundling allows one contractor — or one group of contractors — to work on multiple bridges in several locations, simultaneously, if needed. This can bring taxpayer savings through the standardization of bridge components and mobilization costs.
Concrete Mobile Trailer Interactive Map
The Federal Highway Administration's Mobile Concrete Technology Center (MCTC) introduces Federal, State, and local transportation personnel to the state-of-the-art concrete technology in
materials selection, mixture design, field and laboratory testing, and pavement evaluation. The MCTC recently launched an interactive map developed in Javascript’s Leaflet library to show where their outreach has across the United States for technology transfers,
Q&A workshops, targeted virtual sessions, and field testing.

New York City Climate [Dashboard]
The NYC Climate Dashboard tracks our city’s progress in meeting climate goals by assessing how effectively the city is reducing our carbon emissions and how prepared our neighborhoods are for the impacts of climate change. Each section of the dashboard includes key climate indicators, along with data on city policies and programs designed to improve those outcomes.
