The future of geospatial transportation datasets holds great promise as well as new challenges. The democratization of data and omnipresence of technology in transportation has created the opportunity for vast new empirical data resources with profound impacts on data velocity, volume and bias. These changes push us, as cartographers, analysts and statisticians, to rethink our relationship with maps. You will explore opportunities to advance cartographic techniques that are appropriate for statistical analysis and creating new maps for BTS to use in analysis and publish to the world.
You will be designing and carrying out cartographic projects, operations, and studies. You will produce high quality maps, charts, and graphics for inclusion in BTS publications. You will consult with project planners to evaluate proposals for maps/charts or related products to determine cartographic requirements; and work with managers and other GIS professionals to identify and develop unique ways to depict transportation statistics on maps and charts.
You will have the opportunity to develop close working relationships with other DOT offices, and other Federal agencies that maintain geospatial data and analytical capabilities, which can aid in the understanding of the transportation industry. You will participate in inter-agency efforts relating to the development and improvements of geospatial data and analysis applications, and you will conduct research on existing and emerging technologies, processes and approaches that can be used to enhance the cartographic techniques for explaining transportation.
Finally you will have the chance to assist in development and updates to the National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD), a set of nationwide geographic databases of transportation facilities, transportation networks, and associated infrastructure.
