Make public right-of-way assessment manageable.
Public right-of-way accessibility affects everyday travel through a community. BlueDAG helps agencies organize PRoW assessment work and reduce the time spent turning field data into usable records.
One of the largest ADA compliance workloads.
Compliance matters; the field work is large.
The ADA is more than 30 years old, but many cities and towns still struggle to assess sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and other public right-of-way assets. The scale alone can overwhelm a traditional clipboard-and-spreadsheet process.
Inspecting right-of-way for ADA compliance means looking at everything from the width of sidewalks and the slant of curbs to the presence (or lack thereof) of curb ramps, crosswalks, and signals. While some aspects of compliance are easy to spot, others can be more subtle and more difficult to identify.
Compliance matters because sidewalks, curb ramps, crossings, and related routes are how people reach public programs and services. A current PRoW record helps agencies understand what needs repair, replacement, or further review.
Start the right-of-way work before field teams roll out.
BlueDAG mobile apps + Virtual Pre-InspectionTM: divide and conquer.
BlueDAG’s solution to public right-of-way assessment incorporates two purpose-built tools: our BlueDAG ProTM and BlueDAG ApprenticeTM mobile apps for on-site inspection and Virtual Pre-InspectionTM for desktop pre-inspection assessment. Together, our tools enable PRoW to be evaluated with a rapid “divide and conquer” approach that optimizes workflow and minimizes project time.
Our mobile apps allow dispatched teams to conduct rapid on-site PRoW inspections, identifying and recording ADA barriers in the field. Before (or in tandem with) on-site inspection, Virtual Pre-InspectionTM allows a desktop pre-inspection assessment of PRoW by leveraging Google satellite and street view imagery. An average of 50% of the assessment workload can be completed without leaving the office, and the results can be used to prioritize fieldwork.
Detailed and annotated reports can be generated instantly, saving countless hours versus manual preparation. Findings data can be fed directly into the entity’s Living Transition PlanTM via their BlueDAG Government subscription.
PRoW evaluation is big, but it does not have to be hard. BlueDAG’s solution puts you in the express lane.
