Connecting Data, Plans, and Stakeholders
Disjointed data and fragmented planning processes undermine effective decision-making. Agencies struggle to align LRTPs, MTPs, STIPs, and TIPs while coordinating across districts, jurisdictions, and planning partners—leading to duplication, delays, and inconsistent evaluation.
Building Consistent, Defensible Prioritization
Inconsistent scoring methods and manual workflows make it difficult to justify project selection. Without a clear, repeatable framework tied to performance goals, agencies spend more time defending decisions than confidently advancing investments.
Optimizing Funding with Strategic Agility
Limited visibility into funding trade-offs weakens execution. Agencies must allocate dollars across programs and constraints while incorporating cost shifts and amendments—without disrupting momentum or losing alignment to performance targets.
Standardize project intake, scoring, and performance calculations using consistent, reusable criteria aligned to statewide and regional goals.
Engage stakeholders, districts, and planning partners in a shared platform that captures input, documents rationale, and strengthens alignment.
Model funding constraints, compare alternatives, and evaluate trade-offs before committing dollars to your STIP or TIP.
Engage multiple stakeholders and planning partners in a shared platform that allows in-app communication, tracks activity and updates and strengthens alignment.
Generate STIP and TIP Plans
Bring all STIP and TIP elements into a single solution, starting with plan generation.
- Collect project data through configurable Call for Projects forms, spreadsheet imports, or integration with existing planning and asset systems.
- Score and prioritize projects using a configurable Prioritization Toolkit, with reusable criteria aligned to your agency’s priorities and performance measures.
- Use AI-assisted analysis to create head-to-head comparisons of plan options, bringing transparency, optimization, and performance-based planning to your scenario evaluation process.
Manage Project and Plan Updates
Navigate project and plan updates more efficiently. By reducing time spent on data entry and validation, planners can keep plans aligned across projects, funding, and timelines.
- Track project updates and amendments using dynamic statuses as they move through review and approval, enabling transparent, consistent reporting in a single system.
- As changes are approved, updates are reflected across connected plans and programs, minimizing manual effort and maintaining alignment.
- Improve workflows by reducing repetitive validation and manual steps through structured, rules-based processes that support accuracy, transparency, and governance.
Enhance Communication and Streamline Reporting
Engage stakeholders and planning partners in a shared platform that supports communication, tracks activity, and improves coordination across the planning process.
- Use integrated mapping capabilities to designate and track project locations, aligned with ArcGIS and other GIS tools.
- Apply built-in commenting and tracking to reduce reliance on email and manage communication within the platform.
- Create reports and dashboards for leadership, partners, and the public, reducing duplicative effort and streamlining external communication.
