GIS-Mo
A transportation asset management system for county roads, bridges, and roadway assets including signs, culverts, guardrails and more! Transportation asset management includes resource management, cost analysis, asset lifecycle management, work management, safety management and more.
In addition to asset management, GIS-Mo is the system of record for county road log control fields and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Model Inventory Roadway Elements Fundamental Data Elements (MIRE FDE). These control fields are used for the purposes of distributing county road Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax. CRAB also share the county road log annually to Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) partners for the annual All Public Roads Layer update and FHWA reporting. For more information regarding MVFT or MIRE FDE, please submit a ticket or contact Mike Clark, Road Systems Inventory Manager.
GIS-Mo is comprised of multiple technologies and vendor solutions, such as, ESRI Roads and Highways, VUEWorks Asset Management System, and more. GIS-Mo access is only directly available to the 39 County Road departments in Washington State, however, GIS-Mo county road data is made publicly available through published county road maps and reports. For more information visit the Project Dashboard, submit a ticket, or contact Cameron Cole, GIS Manager.
RAP-CARS

Legacy Solutions
VisRate
VisRate 5.0 is a program for collecting visual pavement distress data. Users download Mobility data into VisRate from within VisRate 5.0 and use the data for conducting pavement ratings. Users can connect a laptop computer with a vehicle's Digital Measurement Instrument (DMI). The laptop synchronizes with and operates a Nite Star NS - 60 DMI as the vehicle moves down the road. Users can upload pavement rating data into the GIS-Mo database from VisRate using the Sync tool.
As CRAB and County Pavement Managers have requested to move from PSC to PCI pavement rating methods, CRAB is currently working on a replacement solution provided by Colorado State University: PAVER(tm). Visit the project dashboard for more information.
SignRate
SignRate is currently in replacement stage, but available for counties to continue sign maintenance activities through the retired Mobility database until such time they are transitioned to GIS-Mo or another product of their choosing. SignRate is a software tool for collecting sign inventory and maintenance data in the field. Users collect field data and upload sign data directly into the Mobility database from within SignRate software.
