Geographic Information Systems

Overview

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based system for capturing, storing, integrating, manipulating, analyzing and displaying data related to positions of items on the earth’s surface (Department of State, Electronic Recordkeeping Rule, Rule No: 1B-26.003 Florida Administrative Code). GIS technology supports graphical analysis of geo-referenced data and enhances the quality of the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) information assets.

GIS is a standard tool commonly used by FDOT to support transportation decision making. This office supports an organization-wide framework for the governance of GIS technology that facilitates effective management, communication and collaboration of shared geospatial data and resources.
