How do we make decisions on these critical issues? Reducing crime Enhancing public safety Containing costs Homeland Security Managing growth Improving accountability Disaster mgt. Protecting the environment What if there was a tool that could integrate data from diverse sources — and visually analyze data to support decision making — many times faster than any other tool? Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Giving decision-makers the power to make more informed decisions. N.C. Department of Public Instruction wanted to manage school buses more efficiently. North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Hit-or-miss route mapping in 107 school districts Huge inefficiencies Inability to contain costs efficiently North Carolina Department of Public Instruction With GIS: Developed pilot program more than 10 years ago Mandated use of GIS by all districts statewide in 1992 State funding incentives reward efficiency: fewer buses, better routes North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Results: In a school year:- more than 500 fewer buses were needed statewide than originally estimated- 15,000,000 fewer miles were driven than originally estimated The state saved over 2,000,000 gallons of fuel To make informed decisions, we have to gather the right information. Realities Among Data Relevant data is often hard to find and in incompatible forms. Information describing data is often non-existent. Framework data does not exist for broad geographic areas. Data sharing across organizations is inconsistent. So What do we need??? Common language Common reference system Common framework Spatial Data Infrastructure
