<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">SBCTA leverages an Open Data site through ArcGIS Hub product as the showcase to internal and external audiences for sharing and exploring various types of demographic, social and economic GIS data.
The SBCTA GIS team continues to refine and improve user experience in terms of how they can explore, discover and extract the data for their needs.

<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">With this new GIS Viewer built from Geocortex platform, users are presented with a full browser-window sized map view through Desktop, tablets and Mobile, as they can navigate an area to see how the
data might answer their geospatial questions. Additional, users are presented more dynamic menu options to explore data categorized by similar types. Without needing a login account, users will also be given more cartographic controls for changing individual
feature layer presentations to suit their particular needs. This viewer contains a print map feature that has easier functions for end users to generate more professional looking printouts. Finally, this app allows users to review, create and download multiple
layers of data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Both Open Data Site and GIS Viewer focus on showing roadway, transit, and active transportation projects, as well as SBCTA programs and services to various types of demographic information. The Open
Data site and GIS Viewer enable SBCTA to share our data more quickly, frequently, and precisely with our member jurisdictions, partner transit agencies, consultants and the general public, given the intuitive user interface and automated data extraction, packaging,
and delivering components.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
