The Geospatial One-Stop Initiative provides Federal and state agencies with a single point of access to map-related data enabling the sharing of existing data. This is done in order to maximize geospatial investments to leverage resources and reduce redundancies.

Currently, 26 federal agencies and 50 states have geospatial data.
