Florida's Unified Roadway Basemap Initiative
Every jurisdiction and often agencies and offices within agencies have independent GIS systems that do not
easily interact. Although they can often exchange data the accuracy of the data is often corrupted due to
the differing sources of the foundational information that the base maps are built upon. This frequently
shows as bridge information plotting where there is no river or road to cross and intersection data
plotting mid-block. Different with crash data being collected with one datum and roadway data collected
in another this data is difficult to analyze. With the new requirements form SAFETEA-LU to address High
Risk Rural Roads and identify the 5% of the worst safety problems regardless of roadway ownership it is
necessary that a uniform foundation be provided for consistent data exchange.
