DMG is currently assisting the Colorado Statewide Traffic Records Advisory Committee (STRAC) to define business requirements, assess development alternatives, and prepare an implementation plan for a new traffic records virtual data warehouse. This project is envisioned to integrate data from multiple existing systems and provide various state, county, and local agencies across Colorado with enhanced access to a variety of traffic records information. The project involves working with multiple stakeholders including the Colorado Department of Transportation; the Colorado Department of Public Safety; the Motor Vehicle Division of the Colorado Department of Revenue; the Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Registry and Vital Statistics Division of the Colorado Judicial Branch; and representatives of rural and local law enforcement agencies, local public works departments, municipal courts, and metropolitan planning organizations. Our scope of work includes conducting a needs analysis, reviewing best practices nationally, and assessing the relevance of these practices to Colorado; identifying and assessing various development alternatives for the virtual data warehouse; and preparing an implementation plan for the selected alternative.
DMG wins project award to conduct a study for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). This study will identify the most efficient and effective procedures and methodologies used to ensure that the most qualified construction contractors are eligible to bid on and perform work on MDOT's construction contracts. DMG will analyze and document MDOT's current processes, identify best practices within other state DOTs, present opportunity areas for changes in determining eligibility, and provide recommendations for improvements.
DMG is assisting the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to initiate an access management improvement effort. To accomplish this, DMG is conducting fact-finding meetings with Caltrans' districts and program areas to gain an understanding of current practices and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Using this information, DMG will develop an action plan to improve access management policies, procedures, and practices and more effectively meet California's transportation goals.
