Mission

The ray reimagines infrastructure to be safer, cleaner, and more productive. Driving innovation in energy, mobility, and technologies, we are the only nonprofit in the us using geospatial analysis for right-of-way utilization, research-based practices, and cutting-edge safety systems to improve transportation.

Programs

3 programs

Geospatial planning and mapping for transportation row energy - the ray develops advanced geospatial analysis and mapping tools to help transportation agencies, energy developers, and utilities identify, plan, and deploy energy infrastructure within the highway right-of-way (row). Using gis technology and data from private and public partners, the ray's mapping tools model land suitability, environmental considerations, and output potential for solar and transmission projects. These tools help agencies accelerate energy deployment, improve coordination across transportation and energy sectors, and optimize use of existing public land for sustainable infrastructure.

Expenses: $293K

Natural capital/roadside plantings - the ray landscape lab develops native and perennial roadside plantings, that are not only beautiful, but prevent waterway sedimentation from soil erosion, capture litter and pollution from stormwater runoff, and restore soil health in order to unlock the capacity of roadside soils to sequester transportation carbon. They also provide habitats for critically important pollinators, like bees and butterflies, whose numbers are experiencing severe decline. Supported litter removal, beautification, and wildflower installations on interstate 85 from the georgia-alabama state line to exit 18-lagrange.
