Connecticut Department of Transportation’s Digital Delivery and Management Platform streamlined planning, coordination, and execution of Connecticut’s transportation projects. Costing $26 million, these systems improve mobility planning, safety, decision making, and public confidence while delivering transportation improvements more quickly and cost effectively. The combined systems accelerate project delivery, reduce surprises, enhance coordination with municipalities and partners, and streamline permitting, design, and construction workflows. Faster, predictable project timelines improve mobility, reduce congestion, and support economic growth. The initiative took a three-pronged approach to integrate several disparate systems to eliminate data silos, improve data quality, aid project planning, and centralize project and asset information. Developed by CTDOT, the unified GIS-ATLAS–COMPASS platform is a cloud-based system integrated geospatial intelligence, project location and asset tools, and a comprehensive digital project delivery platform to streamline planning, coordination, and delivery of transportation projects for the state. CTDOT said the ATLAS part of the system accelerates project setup and asset scanning; the GIS section improves statewide planning and multimodal analysis; and the COMPASS portion enhances collaboration, speeds document reviews, reduces processing times, and ensures consistent project delivery across Connecticut. Overall, the environment provides authoritative, publicly accessible data, improves transparency and coordination across CTDOT’s project development process, and enables faster project scoping, status management, and content tracking.
