How to Obtain the Aerial Photos
The primary methods for obtaining the aerial photos are online via an Interactive Map Server (ArcIMS). This interface serves as a tool for geographically selecting individual photo tiles, which are then made available for downloading via a FTP link. Tiles range in size from 3 MB (2 foot) to 170 MB (3 inch) in a compressed ZIP format.

The regional ortho-imagery
project is the product of a joint effort of the CCJDC and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG). The following is an outline of the project:
- The
Regional Ortho-imagery Acquisition Partnership
a. CCJDC initiated the project to acquire seamless imagery of
the region in a cost-effective manner for each participant.
The latter was achieved by charging each participant a proportional
share of the project cost.
b. AMBAG sponsored and managed the project.
c. Project Goals:
- Obtain current, high-quality, affordable ortho-imagery
for the entire region
- Build an improved map base for the region. There was
no common coverage or continuous mapping effort
for the region.
- Fill gaps in coverage
- Create a common baseline for future updated imagery
d. 25 Participants were involved in the project.
e. Project cost $800,000.
f. Project flight dates were in June and October 2003.
g. Data is public record subject to the California Public Records
Act.

Results and Lessons Learned
a. Results
- Participants saved 35-45% of the costs they would have
borne had they acquired the imagery on their own. The potential
would have been greater if we had more participants.
- A superior product was achieved because of QA/QC process
using a subcommittee of project participants.
- Partnerships are being created with those who were unable
to participate this time around through in kind support.
b. Lessons learned
- CCJDC has provided a collegial atmosphere that has contributed
directly to the success of this project.
- AMBAG was seen as an honest broker by project participants.
- Varying levels of technical knowledge addressed by technical
workshops conducted by the CCJDC.
- Project management requirements:
1. Working with vendor
a. Clear, precise language spelling out project deliveries,
timelines, form of deliveries.
b. Importance of tight contract language to control
adherence to deadlines.
2. Dynamic QA/QC process through CCJDC Aerial Imagery
Subcommittee.
