Background Information:
Since its establishment in 2001, the Tehama County GIS program, overseen by the Tehama County Transportation Commission (TCTC), has been instrumental in supporting County and regional initiatives. Initially developed under Public Works, the program has evolved into a vital resource for mapping, data management, and decision-making. Key achievements include facilitating the 2020 Census, launching the Genesys Protect evacuation system, and providing interactive GIS platforms to the public and agencies. TCTC manages licenses for over 60 users, supports various County departments and external partners, and provides critical data services like road condition dashboards and emergency response maps. The program's success is bolstered by ongoing investments in staff training and cutting-edge tools, ensuring its continued adaptability to emerging technologies and community needs.
