ABSTRACT: In an effort to identify and track the development of alternative transportation facilities within the Commonwealth, MassDOT GIS has worked to redevelop our authoritative bicycle inventory and initiate a similar inventory of pedestrian routes. The Bicycle Inventory has existed as a MassDOT product for a number of years, but new advents in technology have allowed the Office of Transportation Planning to rebuild the dataset to better represent existing conditions while using public opinion to develop new facilities. The Pedestrian Inventory uses a linear referenced road characteristic editor to clean existing sidewalk data and capture a statewide network of off road pedestrian or mixed use trails. The development process incorporated elements of public facing data capture technology, an SDE editing environment, ArcGIS Server, and our GeoDOT platforms.
