Organizations use linear referencing to manage assets and characteristics along roads, railways, pipelines, and other linear networks. To provide a clearer and more consistent experience across industries and in alignment with Esri’s strategy to simplify ArcGIS, we are consolidating ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing and ArcGIS Roads and Highways into a single extension called ArcGIS Linear Referencing. This extension will continue to provide the advanced enterprise capabilities previously offered through the two separate products.

The change is planned for Q4 2026 with the ArcGIS Online November 2026 update and the releases of ArcGIS Pro 3.8 and ArcGIS Enterprise 12.2 also scheduled for November.

Every four years, the Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO, https://cogonetwork.org/) conducts an assessment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) in the United States. COGO is a coalition of 14 national professional societies, trade associations, and membership organizations in the geospatial field, representing more than 170,000 individual producers and users of geospatial data and technology. The purpose of the assessment report, next to be published in 2027, is to help advance the NSDI by identifying areas where attention and focus are needed and to highlight opportunities for collaborative work across entities at all levels of government, industry, and the private sectors.
