Project Goal

Historically, the City of Tulsa relied on physical maps and various independent sources to address location-based challenges. However, as these challenges evolved, it became clear that Tulsa needed its own Geographic Information System (GIS) designed for its specific needs. Initially starting with a few maps and applications, the GIS quickly expanded, becoming a vital tool across multiple city departments to address issues. Almost ten years ago, Tulsa initiated a shift towards becoming a data-driven city, which underscored the necessity of leveraging data to tackle contemporary problems. Consequently, it was decided that GIS would be a mandatory component for all new major software implementations in Tulsa. Today, GIS underpins key city functions such as planning, infrastructure development, emergency response coordination, addressing, asset management, and public engagement. It continues to lead in innovation, driving new ideas and improving the quality of life for Tulsa residents.
