Bureau of Transportation Statistics, (BTS) 19990000 20010000 SHAPE http://www.bts.gov/ The Fixed-Guideway Transit and Ferry Network is a comprehensive network database of Florida's fixed-guideway transit and ferry systems. This includes heavy rail, light rail, monorail, ferry boat, cable car, dedicated HOV roadway, inclined plane, and automated guideway. BTS strives to make high-quality data and information available for the transportation community and other individuals or groups interested in transportation. Strong leadership, planning, educational outreach, and the pursuit of a superior working team frame our vision. The 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) established the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) for data collection, analysis, and reporting and to ensure the most cost-effective use of transportation-monitoring resources. We strive to increase public awareness of the nation's transportation system and its implications and improve the transportation knowledge base of decisionmakers. 19990000 Ground Condition Complete Irregular -87.429040 -79.872251 30.983191 24.492815 NONE Bureau of Transportation Statistics Rail network Ferry network Planning NONE Florida Fixed-Guideway Transit Networks NONE 1990's NONE The data provide users with information about the location and type of fixed-guideway transit and terminal facilities primarily for regional cartographic, spatial and network analysis purposes. Attribute information was obtained from individual transit agencies through telephone conversations and follow-up written material provided by the agency. The level of detail and completeness of this information varied, depending on the source. Attribute data were transcribed directly into the database with no independent verification. Attribute data is incomplete at this time, and what data is included reflects information received from individual transit agencies during 1994. THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale data sets are not suitable for some projects, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale data sets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html For more information, visit: http://www.bts.gov/ Bureau of Transportation Statistics, (BTS) 19990000 Map Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer. After completing topological and attribute verification using ARC/INFO, the data was extracted and reformatted into the BTS ACSII format.Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s."
