One of the most important aspects of transportation planning is understanding employment information of businesses and organizations. Information such as location of employment, size of organization or business in terms of employees, sales, can provide valuable input to understanding travel patterns and human activities. Visualizing this information along with several administrative, transportation and infrastructure facilities provides key contextual information to transportation planning agencies. The objective of this project is to develop an open source software to visualize business location and employment information in the state of New York. The application is also interfaced with transportation road network, public transit network, various administrative boundaries such as MPOs, counties, municipalities so that the business data can be queried accordingly. Furthermore, the application also provides the ability to edit and update the information per the understanding of experts in agencies statewide.
