If you missed the webinar, the recording is now posted to our YouTube channel.

Geared towards busy professionals with little to no GIS experience, this webinar introduces concepts and applications that are most relevant to local agency use, offering examples from DOT, MPO, and LPA perspectives.

See how GIS StoryMaps can be used to build data-rich visual narratives that allow a non-technical audience to see complex patterns and relationships, or as CALTAP Director O'Brien says, "Learn how to love GIS, even if you are not a GIS technician."
