Overview

TxDOT has adopted TRIMS as a statewide database for tracking various data related to rail-highway applications. TRIMS is a geospatial database which employs roadway maps and satellite images from Microsoft Bing and Google
, as well as rail line data from TPP.

Some of the features of TRIMS include:

A crossing inventory module including photographs of each crossing.

A project management module for tracking rail-highway projects and tying these to the crossing inventory via DOT numbers.

Ability for TxDOT users to edit inventory and project data.

Ability to view which data has been edited over time.
