3. for theNationRoad centerlines first All States & Territories All Kinds of Roads

4. Many are doing it now 2009 TIGER/Line®

5. Enormous Duplication of Effort

6. Other Problems Licensed data cannot be readily shared Rural places may be ignored (or not prioritized)

7. Can’t we all just get along…And agree that there’s a common baseline foundation that’s required? Current geometry Basic Attributes Maybe addresses? Maybe linear referencing system (LRS)?

8. Variety of stakeholders adds their own “special sauce” on top Private Sector: full routability and immersive imagery US Census: Polygon topology for census geographic units USGS: Enhanced cartographic display and labeling State DOTs: advanced attributes State DOTs: Linear Referencing System (LRS) State E911: Addresses TFTN: Common baseline foundation of geometry, basic attributes

12. In order to try and figure this out, US-DOT is performing a Strategic Plan Identify what you want and need Figure out what you’re going to do about it

13. Strategic Plan Identifies What TFTN might look like? Who should be involved? What kind of standards? What kind of funding?

14. Some initial ideas… Highway Performance Management System (HPMS)Incentivizes Participation Provides a recurring update cycle Opens up the use of existing federal funding

15. Some initial ideas…Each State Completes an Inventory(and keeps it current)Statewide road inventory becomes a reporting requirementHaving the inventory keeps you eligible for US-DOT highway funding

16. How do states currently do it? Empower and work with the counties Links with E911 funding

17. How do states currently do it? Partner with the Private Sector New York, Delaware, Massachusetts, etc.

18. Capitalize on new opportunities Engage and take advantage of OpenStreetMap and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI)
