Slide 66
• Creation of a Steering Committee
• Perform outreach activities: interviews, workshops, meetings, surveys, case studies, etc.
• Identification of what’s working, what’s needed – current practices, requirements, strategies, standards, documentation
• Identification of institutional constraints, capacity, operational authority, motivation, benefits, etc.

• TFTN is a “concept”, not a program
• General description in NSGIC Issues Brief from 2008-2009
– Consistent, seamless nationwide dataset of addressable roads…
– Multi-purpose, not single-purpose…
– Participation from multiple levels of government…
– Implementation will remove duplication of effort…
• This project will attempt to further define what TFTN actually is/may become
Issues and Lessons Learned TFTN Defined in Tangible Terms
![Page 9: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
The concept is really pretty simple
• County and local governments are the best primary data source
• County/local data rollup to regional (e.g. via MPO)
• Regional data rollup to state
• State data rollup to TFTN
Standards enable this flow of data
![Page 10: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
The concept is really pretty simple
• But the devil is in the details
• Multi-purpose means:– Shared geometric networks– Supports addressing and geocoding– Supports E911 dispatching– Supports linear referencing systems (LRS)– Supports fully routable roads (e.g. directionality, speed limit)
• Either the standard is complex, or “lowest common denominator” of geometry + simple attributes
• Multiple participants in data creation
• Requirements of ongoing and regular update
![Page 11: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

TFTN is different from Imagery for the Nation (IFTN)
IFTN TFTNOrchestrated, collaborative funding Orchestrated, collaborative work
Periodic update is acceptable Regular, ongoing, transactional update
Multi-purpose is straightforward Multi-purpose is complex
Executed via private sector contracts Role of private sector is not yet clear
• IFTN and TFTN are fundamentally different– We cannot just clone IFTN– Both: identify standard, nationwide data products
![Page 12: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
Role of the private sector
• The private sector currently has several nationwide road centerline data products– Often created from original government data sources
– These data can have shortcomings, particularly in rural places
• Some states have formally partnered with the private sector for centerline maintenance already
• How should the private sector be engaged?– As an advocate for TFTN?
– As a participant in creating/maintaining it?
![Page 13: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
Role of volunteered geographic information (VGI)• The public is an end-user/consumer of these data
• The public is in a good position to identify errors and validate accuracy– Requires processes for creating
trusted users and vetting submitted content
• OpenStreetMap has shownthe potential of large-scale VGI initiatives– Crowdsourcing
• Can such approaches be harnessed as part of TFTN?
![Page 14: Nsgic mid year_strategic_plannning_for_tftn_presentation_march_2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54bc41b54a7959c16c8b4617/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
Role and commitment of US-DOT• Is the US-DOT a facilitator, or owner?
• With proper internal support, the US-DOT could compel this to happen– FHWA funds to states are large and critical
– “Require” submission of an annual statewide centerline file to a TFTN standard as a condition for FHWA funding
– Statewide centerline assembly/maintenance is a small cost next to highway/bridge construction
– “A carrot that’s so big it becomes a stick”
• Easier said, than done– Bureaucracy and politics would need to be overcome
