Geographic Information Systems (GIS):
The Geographic Information System (GIS) CAMPO manages
is a collection of transportation related data undertaken
collectively by CAMPO, Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and member jurisdictions.
All of the GIS data is stored in the ArcGIS shapefile
format. ArcGIS is a commercial GIS software package published
by
ESRI though there is a free downloadable
viewer available from them. All shapefiles
are in the coordinate system: State Plane Central Texas,
NAD 1983, US Feet.
Two of the most important CAMPO-authored GIS datasets are the 2035 Network and 2035 Demographics. The former includes information from the CAMPO Mobility 2035 Plan Document as well as future projected volumes from our model runs. The 2035 Demographics shapefile created for our population and employment forecast divides the five counties into 1413 smaller geographic units each with their own population and employment fields for the years 2008, 2010, 2015, 2025, and 2035.

The Growth Monitoring Report is part of CAMPO's efforts to monitor population growth in our region. Building and septic permits collected from cities and counties were geocoded in GIS to produce layers showing locations of new residences.
This process has allowed CAMPO to examine the spatial and temporal distributions of growth in the region;
to establish the baseline of growth for trend and comparative analyses; and
to analyze the variations of growth in relation to growth and infrastructure investment policies in the region.

Demographic Allocation Tool White Paper was a new effort initiated in 2007 for allocating the CAMPO-approved county control totals of demographics to the traffic analysis zone level for travel demand modeling purposes.
The main objectives for developing this tool were to provide a GIS-based quantitative tool for scenario planning; to be integrated with the current travel demand model; and to have the capability of producing replicable results. This paper documents the previous methodology, the modified Delphi process, and the decision behind
developing the Demographic Allocation Tool as well as its implementation strategy and future improvements. Staff Contact: Cole Kitten, email: cole.kitten@campotexas.org, phone: 512.974.2282
