Requested comments for the TSC Charter update

24 March 2017 TSC Meeting Topics: FHWA provided an overview of the ARNOLD (All Roads Network of Linear Referenced Data) geospatial network. US Road Network (USRN) Minimum Content Guideline (MCG) Development Approach Outcomes Monthly USRN-MCG Working Group (WG) meetings to be held Additional MCG WG participation to be solicited via email DOI Agency members and partners to be canvassed for presentation for the next TSC meeting. Possibly add a TSC Calendar of events to the TSC webpage

The use cases are being used to develop a list of attributes for the MCG The attributes will be accessed for inclusion into the MCG Chairman (Tom Roff, FHWA) and Co-Chair (Sharon Hawkins, ARDOT) elected

9 May 2017 USRN-MCG Meeting Topics: Use Case Review Do theses events sit on top of ARNOLD Outcomes: Breakdown larger use cases into smaller components Define the use cases states have in common Consider Cartographic Labelling as a use case Start with the Highway Performance and Monitoring System s field manual to identify attributes for the Inventory use case Add AppGeo s studies to the source material Associate attributes to each use case to identify commonalities How do we define which are essential to the USRN-MCG

22 May 2017 USRN-MCG Meeting Topics: Purpose, Review of MCG Strategy Status Update Outcomes: USRN WG reviewed and categorized the MCG Use Cases Most Common Categories were Inventory, Planning, and Safety Inventory attributes will be presented to the TSC for review and acceptance After each iteration of attribute acceptance the TSC will assess if there is sufficient information to publish the MCG If not, the process will continue.

19 July 2017 TSC Meeting Topics: National Transit Map Intermodal Passenger Connectivity Database Transportation Deserts USRN-MCG Update Best practices in Identifying Populations Served by Transportation Facilities Charter Update Status Outcome: Adopted the USRN-MCG Name Topographic Mapping Use Case was Added Census Added the Roads on Federal Lands Use Case Best practices abstract is being written and will be submitted to the TSC

Recent Developments/Projects Continue to support the Maturity Assessments of the Transportation NGDAs Continue TSC and USRN meetings Alternating every other month USRN Use Case Scenarios (Draft) Inventory Use Case - MCG Attributes (In Development) TSC Charter Review/Update Final Draft
