2. Cooperative Purchase Agreement • Save money for participants • Opportunity for counties who were unable to purchase before • Gives access to more coverage • Individual counties have paid up to $580K

3. Cost • Based on Earth Data quote • Cost: $1,390,296 or $212/square mile • Resolution: 6” pixel • Example: 20 County region • Breaks out cities separately for added savings • Estimates of cost and methodology for procurement of imagery may change depending on number of participants

4. County Estimates

5. City Estimates

6. What Next? • Is this something we wish to consider? • Other products to consider? • CIR/LIDAR etc. • Specifications? • What should be the next steps?

7. Atlanta Region Street Data Collection Analysis

8. Who Collects/Creates Street Data? City Government County Government Regional Development Centers State Government Federal Government

9. Georgia State Law • Local Governments are required to submit acceptance of new roads, reporting of reconstructed roads, or abandoned roads according to Georgia State Code 32-4-41(4) and 32-4-91(b) • (4) A county shall keep on file in the office of the county clerk, available for public inspection, the map of the county road system prepared by the department as provided for in subsection (a) of Code Section 32-4-2.

This notification shall be accompanied by a map or plat depicting the location of the new or abandoned road; • Disconnect : Data not reported regularly

10. Street Data Collection Objectives • MONEY!!!$$$ • Planning • Mileage • Condition • Safety and traffic flow • Cartographic needs • Network analysis • Geocoding • E911

11. Collection Methods • Digitized from plats • Digitized from aerials • Digital submission • GPS • Field collection

12. Historical State Data Collection • Process in 4th decade • RC data file (non-spatial) created in 1976 • First DLGF map created early ’90s • No addressing, indirect street names

13. GDOT Data Reporting • Need local government to report new, reconstructed, or abandoned roads • Annual reporting of mileage & transportation data to Federal Government • Needed to receive fair allotment of transportation funds • Road maps for 159 counties

14. Collaboration • Foster relationships with appropriate • persons involving GIS data • Data sharing • Reduce data redundancy • Improve efficiency • Sharing of scripts, tools

15. Street Data Fields

16. Street Attribution • Federal Standards – 98 • State Characteristics – 110 • Local Characteristics – approx. 52 • Surface type/dimensions, shoulders, travel lanes, speed limit, sidewalks… • Already have engineering standards • Attributes tool

17. GDOT RC Contract • ARC working with GDOT to improve data collection processes • Facilitate work with local governments to collect data • GDOT migrating existing database to more modern framework • GDOT working to receive data via web submission from local governments

18. State and Regional Street Network Considerations • Form consortium • Create unified data sharing agreement • Adopt standards due to varying levels • of accuracy and quality • Data translation/ integration • Develop data model, software tools

19. Other Models: Enterprise street data efforts • Washington DOT • South Dakota DOT • SANDAG: (San Diego Association of Governments) -Formed Streets Committee -City provides data to county, edited in SDE directly • Mecklenburg-Union MPO: -Formed consortium with City/County Govs. -Digital CAD submissions required, added to SDE
