Examples of GIS activities include geospatial database construction and management, technical spatial data analysis, and map generation. MVRPC’s GIS Program focuses on:

Facilitating better decision-making during regional planning activities;
Sharing planning-related geographic data and information to various stakeholders, including the general public; and
Playing a leadership role in promoting the use of GIS with technical capacity and expertise in the Region.

From this page, users may access many different agency-developed, online mapping applications, MVRPC’s resource center, and basic information about GIS. Users are also encouraged to visit our online Map Gallery to view interactive web maps covering diverse topics like transportation, land use planning, census data, and the environment.
