The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) adopted geospatial technologies to enhance transparency and communication in roadway infrastructure projects. Through the Project Portal, residents gain access to interactive maps, drone imagery, and real-time updates on project status and closures. These innovations facilitate greater public engagement and stakeholder collaboration, while also improving internal communication and project management efficiency within MDOT SHA. By leveraging smart maps, drones, and GIS systems, MDOT SHA is setting a new standard for infrastructure development in Maryland, fostering trust, accountability, and community involvement in transportation projects.
