The NYS GIS LIDAR website serves as a central hub for accessing Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data across New York State. Users can download individual LIDAR tiles through the Discover GIS Data NY Application or opt for bulk downloads directly from a dedicated FTP site. Recommendations are provided for using FTP clients for large data transfers, or simply navigating the FTP site via Windows File Explorer.
The site also provides detailed information on the status of various LIDAR collection projects. This includes in-progress and planned collections, offering insights into future data availability. Additionally, users can explore latest LIDAR collections, which provide near-statewide coverage with the most recent data, as well as historic LIDAR collections that, while replaced by newer data, remain accessible for archival or specific research purposes.
Each section features direct links to interactive maps for exploring the respective collections. Furthermore, a comprehensive metadata section is available, allowing users to search and access detailed information for different LIDAR projects based on year and custodian, ensuring data transparency and usability.
