PennDOT's Map Reproduction Guidelines and Copyright Policies

What's Happening?

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) provides guidelines for reproducing its maps. Personal use requires the removal of all references to PennDOT, while commercial use necessitates a review of the Copyright Release Policy and an application for permission. These guidelines ensure proper use and attribution of PennDOT's geographic information resources.

Why It's Important?

PennDOT's map reproduction policies are essential for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of geographic information. By regulating the use of its maps, PennDOT protects its intellectual property and ensures that users adhere to legal standards. These guidelines also facilitate the responsible dissemination of geographic data, supporting transportation planning and public safety initiatives.
