Paver Saver is a system which allows utility companies, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and county and city public works departments to share information about their work schedules and locations. Paver Saver aims to prevent newly paved roads from being torn up to repair a problem, and then a month later, torn up again in the same spot by a different agency to fix another problem.

The system finds where work schedules and project locations overlap and then notifies these organizations in advance so that they can potentially coordinate their work and save time, money and aggravation while keeping the road in good repair. It has already saved significant sums of money for participants in the short time it has been available. The Paver Saver application is a great example of how geographic data serves as the backbone of a collaborative solution that saves time, money, and resources.
