Description

The ability to access and track data is critical for managing transportation projects. With dwindling funding for transportation projects, the ability to measure return on investment (ROI) for capital projects. State DOTs are using GIS-based software to do everything from cataloging potholes to programming 10-year plans. At RIDOT, staff created an ArcGIS Online Web Application known as the “STIP Bundler” which brings together asset data from bridge, pavement, safety, and other major facilities and is used for everything from asset management to project prioritization. Using the mapping interface, RIDOT staff worked to optimize projects given funding and scheduling constraints. The bundler also allowed RIDOT to assess such issues as ROW access, historic districts, and project harmonization to evaluate risk factors during the earliest stages of project planning. Funding was compiled using a “Capital Programming Interface” (CPI) capable of automatically tracking and reporting asset-level changes made in the Bundler. This has now morphed into a fully digitized E-STIP software suite, known as the Statewide Intake Framework for Transportation (SWIFT), which will be used to manage project solicitations from municipalities, project scoring, evaluation, and scope development. SWIFT builds on the Bundler’s core functionality by automating several laborious manual processes and installing geoprocessing modules to inform project readiness and budgeting.
