Ada County Highway District (ACHD)

Today is World GIS Day, and we’re excited to spotlight an amazing team! GIS (or Geographic Information Systems) is an interactive mapping system that visualizes data to better assist our teams and the public. Our GIS team works together to collect and analyze data and their overall goal is to provide information in a visual way to assist and educate our residents. Our team has put together many maps available to the public including our RITA map, Official Bike Map, and the Integrated Five-Year Work Plan map. We encourage you to explore the maps on achdidaho.org/maps

Did someone say projects? We’ve got them covered! Our outstanding Project Management team consists of nine project managers, two assistant project managers, two supervisors, one coordinator, and one estimator, all working in sync to bring every project to life. From the very first stages of planning, our team takes charge, ensuring each project stays on schedule, within budget, and meets the highest standards. Project managers coordinate with design experts and collaborate with the public and all stakeholders involved. It’s important to keep everyone connected and informed every step of the way. This team does more than manage projects—they turn plans into reality for Ada County! Visit achdidaho.org/projects to get updates on ongoing projects plus let our projects managers know what you think by providing your input on upcoming projects in the county. Help us wish them a Happy Project Management Day!
