Atlas

A living system for programs that shape a place.

Atlas is not a mapping product with extra screens. It is being built as one source of truth for infrastructure programs — with maps, dashboards, and public pages as interfaces to the same data.

Capital programs still live in spreadsheets, PDFs, GIS extracts, and amendment memos. Staff update one. The map lags. The public page is a year behind. Executives ask for a slide that no longer matches the program.

Atlas is the opposite idea: update the data once. Every interface follows.

Update your data once. Atlas updates everything.

Architecture

A spatial database at the foundation. An application in the middle. Multiple interfaces on top — not a folder of one-off maps.

Database → application → interfaces

Honesty

The public maps below are working proofs of the spatial interface. The full system — planner tools, executive dashboards, and a single writable source of truth — is the product we are building with agencies.

Inside the system

What a program actually is.

A TIP is not a map. It is a set of records that have to stay true together.

  • Projects
  • Locations & geometries
  • Funding
  • Phases
  • Schedules
  • Sponsors
  • Status
  • Amendments
  • Documents
  • Reporting
  • Public communication

Interfaces

Same data. Different jobs.

01

Planner

Manage projects and keep the program current — the administrative interface for people who own the data.

02

Executive

Understand the program at a glance: funding, status, and where attention belongs this quarter.

03

Public

Search and view projects in place. The maps already in use are this interface, in the wild.

A fourth interface comes later: asking questions of the data in ordinary language. That only works if the structured data is sound first.

Flagship

TIP Atlas.

TIP Atlas is the flagship of Atlas Transportation — a reusable system for MPOs, DOTs, and municipalities, not a custom map for each program.

Bring us a program that needs one source of truth.

If your TIP, safety program, or capital list lives in too many places, we should talk about Atlas.
