A web-based geographic information system (GIS) application provides access to spatial data maintained by the Maine Department of Transportation. This interactive tool allows users to visualize and analyze transportation-related information across the state. As an example, individuals can use it to view road classifications, bridge locations, traffic counts, and planned construction projects.
The accessibility of transportation data through this application promotes transparency and facilitates informed decision-making. Stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, and the public, can leverage this resource for planning, research, and community engagement. Historically, accessing such data required direct requests to the department, which could be time-consuming and resource-intensive. The online tool streamlines this process, offering a more efficient and user-friendly alternative.
