PolicyMap was designed particularly for non-GIS users – the decision makers and researchers who want to have tools they can use themselves. PolicyMap is available as a single or multi-user subscription or site license by organizations including some of the biggest names in banking, real estate, government, education, non-profit, philanthropy and the media. Customers include the National Association of Realtors, Comcast, Citibank, US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Reserve Bank and Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. In addition, libraries at prestigious Universities including University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers, Tufts and Syracuse are site-license customers and have made PolicyMap available to all students.

PolicyMap is part of The Reinvestment Fund (TRF), a national leader in the financing of neighborhood revitalization that has invested $1.3 billion in Mid-Atlantic community development programs since 1985. TRF funded programs include affordable housing, schools, businesses, supermarkets and other projects that build wealth and opportunity for the people and places that need it the most. TRF partnered with 3D-L to create the technology that powers PolicyMap, leveraging an expertise in displaying geographic data as highly sophisticated and draggable maps in standard Web browsers.
