These are objectives of this grant o Build a Utah Inter-Governmental GIS-T Workgroup to plan and coordinate the implementation of Utah's statewide transportation database. o Refine the Utah Transpiration Data Model (UTDM) to better meet a variety of needs. o Defining a set of tiered transportation data exchange options ranging from file-based ETL, to database replication, to centralized data editing that will allow data sharing partners to contribute to the statewide data layer at a technical level that matches their resources. o Develop a standard UTDM partner agreement to establish expectations of all parties involved including exchange method, standards agreement, frequency, and quality assurance mechanisms. · Initiate a GIS transportation working group consisting of UDOT, AGRC, County transportation departments and Federal transportation agencies. · This group would develop a business plan to work within the Utah Strategic Plan. · Develop partnership standards · Bert wanted to thank those the submitted support letters with the CAP Grant · If there are people who are interested in participating in the implementation of the business plan, please get in touch with Bert Granberg.
