| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) supports the adoption and development of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to promote environmental streamlining and stewardship (referred to as GIS4EST). While several States have already applied or are in the process of adopting GIS4EST, other States are just beginning down this path. Building on information collected through interviews with State Department of Transportation (DOT) officials and GIS specialists, this report highlights the way eight State DOTs are using GIS to promote environmental stewardship and streamlining, revealing both the potential of GIS4EST and its varied applications. |
