About 85% of all information used in government has a geographic component. Sometimes the only way to really understand the patterns of the urban environment is to use the geographic part (like an address) and put it on a map where it can be analyzed and compared with other features. GIS is the tool for doing this, and has been proven to save money and time.
- Reduce Tort Liability- Having records of maintenance histories, repairs, who performed the work and when work was performed are invaluable in legal matters.
- Reduce Insurance Costs- Most insurance companies will reduce premiums if you have accurate records of your assets, and scheduled maintenance programs.
- Help Project Future Budget Needs- By tracking past maintenance and repair costs you can more accurately project future budget needs.
- Road Management- Keep a current inventory of roads by type, condition, and lane miles for better snow-plow routing, road surface management, accident reporting.
- Inventory and Maintenance- Keep track of all sign locations, specifications, federal standards, and maintenance history to better prepare for replacement, repairing, and routing crews more effectively.

Using GPS technology, we find exact coordinates of any object, like this road sign, to be added to the ArcView map. Information about the sign could also be added to a database, like size, reflectivity, height, etc. |
