Roundtable on DOT Asset Management

Leaders in the transportation and geospatial industries are coming together at the Spatial Roundtable to discuss the use of geographic information system (GIS) technology for department of transportation (DOT) asset management strategies. Esri's global transportation industry manager, Terry Bills, leads the conversation by stating, "The promise of GIS-based asset management, an approach that strives to provide the best return on every dollar invested, is yet to be realised in most state DOTs."

The Esri-sponsored Spatial Roundtable opens the discussion to all parties with a stake in DOT asset management and geospatial technology when Bills asks the question, "What can the GIS community do to fill the gap between GIS promise and DOT asset management reality?" The question went live on 21st July and has already attracted opinions and responses from industry experts.
