• 72 US vehicle models offered navigation systems in 2002 -- up 360% from 2001
• 300,000 navigation-equipped new vehicles were sold in the United States in 2002 -- up 100% from 2001

Academia Delivers New Ideas
• For the PA Department of Health, Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory determined how low-cost technology can improve data collection and transfer for EMS.
• Med-Media, a Pennsylvania Company, used this research to develop a commercial product.
• Key pointsGIS serves the public and private sectorsCommercial capabilities are essential to
the delivery of government servicesAcademia delivers new ideasCan be a win-win-win
Pennsylvania GIS Survey – A Snapshot of County GIS• Initiated by DCNR• Summarizes the status of GIS in Pennsylvania
counties (i.e., no business, state, or NGOs, etc.)Data collectedHow data is usedSoftwareData distribution policy
Other Uses(e.g., Tax, Assessment, 911, Voting)Planning
Decision SupportPublic Works
EnvironmentalFireHealth
GIS Applications
Police
All Counties Have GIS
Important to Appraisal, Assessment, and Taxation
Lack of Common Data Standards
Lack of Software Interoperability
Lack a Common Policy Concerning Access and Use
Lessons from the GIS Survey• GIS is key to the county enterprise• Counties have invested in GIS because of
the return on the investment• Various levels of completion• There are statewide interoperability and
policy issues
A Snapshot of PA GIS Leadership and Coordination• Prepared and periodically
updated between 1985 - 2003• Dr. Lisa Warnecke• Areas
General assessmentLeadershipLegal DirectionCoordination GroupsPolicy and Standards
General• “Several efforts were initiated by line and central
agencies to coordinate these activities for about a decade, but each of these efforts languished for various reasons.” (1999 Report)
• Significant activities (2003 Report)DEP software grantsCity of Philadelphia enterprise system/crime mappingNeighborhood Information System/Services Utilization
Monitoring SystemPublic interest groups environmental usesDEP, PEMA, Health, and Agriculture uses
Leadership• Informal councils provide leadership (2003 Report)
PA Geospatial Information Council (PAGIC)PA Mapping and Geographic Information Consortium
(PaMAGIC)
• Agencies share a leadership role (2003 Report)
DCNRPennDOTDEP
• Note: A GIS Coordinator was appointed October 2003.
Legal Direction• Law defines State Plane Coordinate System (PL 1208,
No 310) (2003 Report)
• Topographic and Geologic Survey has statutory designation as the lead map agency (1995 Act 18 Sec 305) (2003 Report)
• Governor Ridge Executive Order (January 7, 1999) (2003 Report)
“The Department of Environmental Protection shall establish a statewide geospatial data clearinghouse .... to provide information to local governments on how land use decisions may impact air quality, water quality and quantity, soil erosion, and other natural resources."
Coordination
• Coordination groups (2003 Report)
PA Geospatial Information Council (PAGIC) Organized around an MOU Focuses internal to the state
PA Mapping and Geographic Information Consortium (PaMAGIC) Incorporated Focuses local gov’t, business, and academia
Regional groups PA GIS Consortium (PAGIS) SEDA-COG
Policy and Standards
• PaMAGIC is establishing “minimum interoperability standards” (2003 Report)
“Local Government Handbook for GIS implementation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania”
Supported with a small Federal grantEssential for the Pennsylvania Map (PAMAP)

Statewide Coordination and Leadership
Summary• GIS serves important government needs at all levels• Some private capabilities are essential to the
delivery of critical government services• Various levels of completion within counties• There are interoperability and policy issues at all
levels• PA is no better or worse that our neighboring states
– we are just different• Visibility and leadership at a high level seems to be
important
