New Technology: GIS-based Planning Tool for ADA Compliance

APWA International Public Works Congress & Exposition
in Anaheim August 27, 2012

American Public Works Association LogoThe reason this conference is called “The Best Show in Public Works” is because of its sheer size, with thousands of attendees and multiple sessions on the major topics in public works and cutting-edge technology. SSA has been selected to present GIS-based Planning Tools which SSA uses for gathering accessibility data in the field.

Arfi Khambatta, Director of Access Consulting, will be talking about best practices for gathering data for pedestrian infrastructure. He’ll be demonstrating how SSA’s EZ-Way Database© quickly locates the worst barriers that prevent compliance, and how that information is captured.

Arfi’s focus will be on City and County engineering departments incorporating field data into their GIS system as a cost-effective scoping and planning tool for access compliance. If you’re attending the show, we’d love to have you attend our presentation.
