WisDOT’s award-winning Projects Hub makes transportation project info easier to find, access and share

​​​​Release date: October 20, 2026

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) received a 2026 Government Experience (GovX) Award from the Center for Digital Government for its WisDOT Projects Hub, a newly launched open data website for WisDOT improvement project information. 

The WisDOT Projects Hub provides an easy-to-use, one-stop destination for highway and bridge project information. Users can search data-rich interactive maps and find links to hundreds of individual project sites that provide timely information on what's under construction as well as what's in planning phases. 

“The WisDOT Projects Hub reflects our commitment to transparency, innovation and providing useful information about the work happening in communities across Wisconsin," WisDOT Secretary Kristina Boardman said. “The GovX recognition is an honor that speaks to our teams' work bringing forward new ideas, leveraging technology and improving how we share information about our projects. We're committed to developing effective ways to serve the people of Wisconsin and deliver a transportation system that supports our state's future."

About the WisDOT Projects Hub

• Built in-house using ESRI ArcGIS Hub, a community engagement platform that meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA
• Mobile-responsive
• Home to nearly 600 project information sites
• Features interactive, open data maps at statewide and regional levels to connect people with project information

Sponsored by the Center for Digital Government, the GovX Awards recognize innovative government programs and initiatives that improve service and the public's experience with government. This recognition highlights WisDOT's progress toward making transportation project information more accessible, consistent and useful for communities across Wisconsin.
