Regional US County Improves Processes and Data with Rizing GIS Tools

A regional county department in the western United States oversees transportation infrastructure across a diverse landscape that includes mountainous terrain and expansive plains.

The county experienced significant population growth over the past few decades, more than doubling its population in 50 years. It’s now home to approximately 359K people. The county employs 1930 employees, including a team of transportation specialists who maintain 374 miles of paved roads and 555 miles of non-paved roads.

The Challenge

The company faced significant challenges with its 20-year-old roadway asset management system:

  • Wasn’t specifically designed for Roads and Highways, increasing the complexity and difficulty for users to maintain R&H layers
  • Relied on a single system administrator
  • Suffered from a asset data maintenance process
  • Didn’t receive strong vendor support as legacy software
  • Relied on outdated hardware and software platforms
  • Couldn’t meet evolving departmental needs
  • Required manual generation of regulatory reports

These challenges hindered the county’s ability to manage its roadway assets and meet federal reporting requirements.
