Nicole Minni and Sean O'Neill partnered with the Delaware Department of Transporation to develop a Transportation Improvement District Dashboard

​Nicole Minni, GIS and graphics specialist at UD’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA), and Sean O’Neill, IPA policy scientist, partnered with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to develop a Transportation Improvement District (TID) interactive dashboard. The TID Dashboard highlights the boundaries of each of the 13 (soon to be 14) active or planned TIDs throughout the State of Delaware along with specific projects within each TID and the amount of state spending for each area. Through TIDs, DelDOT can provide the transportation improvements needed to support land development in locations identified as appropriate for development in local Comprehensive Plans. Coordinating land use and transportation can lower infrastructure costs and foster planning for market-ready development/redevelopment opportunities. As a transportation-based impact fee, TIDs provide a way to equitably distribute the cost of transportation improvements triggered by development-related growth to the private sector benefiting from the facilities. IPA is a research and public service center in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration.​
