Road TWG

EIRGIS is committed to participating in the Statewide road centerline project initiated by Frank Roberts of the Coeur d’ Alene Tribe, and Bruce Godfrey of Idaho State University (UofI). This project is intended to create a dynamic, seamless, statewide road centerline file that is updated regularly, and may be consumed by anyone at the State Clearinghouse hosted at the UofI. 

EIRGIS will participate in this project by encouraging each of the 9 counties in the region to submit data in those cases where it is routinely maintained, and in cases where the data does not exist, to explore options to acquire that data. EIRGIS also hopes to establish agreement points (coordinates where roads cross borders), and standardized schema (database field names).
