School District boundaries in Pennsylvania from Department of Education district maps. Purpose: Public information and support for transportation planning, design and development.

This dataset contains information about individual projects by state agencies through the Governor’s Office of Transformation, Innovation, Management and Efficiency (GO-TIME). Data includes the project name, agency, description, status, cost savings type, non-financial benefits and net savings for the 2015-16 fiscal year. The projects are intended to produce cost savings, efficiency gains, service improvements and other benefits. State agencies are able to reinvest their savings into programs and to offset rising costs in other areas. These efforts have resulted in over $156 million in savings in the 2015-16 fiscal year, exceeding the Governor’s goal of $150 million in savings. With this success, the Governor has now challenged GO-TIME to achieve $500 million in savings by 2020.

GO-TIME uses a standard methodology to calculate cost savings and a project management tool to track agency cost savings estimates and monitor the progress of initiatives on a quarterly basis, ensuring that cost savings are accurately captured and savings goals are achieved.

Actual or estimated expenses are subtracted from savings to determine net project savings. Savings within each year are prorated based on the date of project implementation, with project costs taken in full in the year in which they are incurred.
This data is also published and searchable on the https://www.governor.pa.gov/go-time/ website.

Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access (PASDA) is Pennsylvania's official public access geospatial information clearinghouse. PASDA was developed in 1996 by the Pennsylvania State University and has served as the clearinghouse for Pennsylvania for over twenty years.

PASDA is a cooperative project of the Governor's Office of Administration, Office for Information Technology, and Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment of the Pennsylvania State University. Funding and support is provided by the Pennsylvania Office for Information Technology. Penn State contributions include system administration support and infrastructure from the Institute for CyberScience, and the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.

PASDA was developed as a service to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The purpose of PASDA is to serve as the Commonwealth's comprehensive and coordinated open geospatial data portal that provides free public access to geospatial data and information by, for, and about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. PASDA is Pennsylvania's node on the National Spatial Data Infrastructure,Geospatial One-Stop, and is integrated with the National States Geographic Information Council GIS Inventory.
