6. Concepts and Goals
Validate existing data to insure compliance and integrity
Create strong community alliances to support future data maintenance programs
Express GDOT’s intentions as related to MAP-21, Local Maintenance Improvement Grant Program, Reconciliation and State Code compliance( , )

7. Unified Communication Strategy
A good communication plan starts with a unified message. The message GDOT is hoping to convey is one of uniformity backed by legislation. I will review these two pieces of legislation in the upcoming slides. As the required data has been validated, it is only through compliance with state code does this become a rinse and repeat process.

Capacity Building
Process Improvements

13. Foundational Principles
GDOT recognizes that all elements cannot reasonably be collected through current business processes
MAP-21 mandate is on the State of Georgia, GDOT delivers the requirements…meaning we all have a responsibility to meet these requirements as a state
No one knows the data or roads better than the local governments and we need their assistance
