Geospatial Analysis for Transportation Planners & Practitioners

Description

Transforming data and information into actionable knowledge and understanding is increasingly needed for transportation planners, practitioners and stakeholders involved with maintaining and planning for the public/private transportation system. As data becomes more available and our transportation system more complex, transportation professionals must possess a variety of data management and analytical skills, including those with spatial and geographic properties. This course is designed for working professionals with a variety of skill sets and experiences working with spatial data, but whose jobs involve aspects of managing transportation assets or performance of transportation systems and for those professionals interested in improving their spatial and geographic analysis capabilities. The course utilizes the ArcGIS software.
