Description: This dataset contains the Florida subset of the BTS' Intermodal Passenger Connectivity Database (IPCD), with data on the availability of connections among the various scheduled public transportation modes at each facility. The IPCD data covers the following types of passenger transportation terminals/stops: 1. Scheduled airline service airports. 2. Intercity bus stations (includes stations served by regular scheduled intercity bus service such as Greyhound, Trailways, code sharing buses such as Amtrak Thruway feeder buses, supplemental buses that provide additional frequencies along rail routes, and airport bus services from locations that are outside of the airport metropolitan area). 3. Intercity and transit ferry terminals. 4. Light-rail transit stations. 5. Heavy-rail transit stations. 6. Passenger-rail stations on the national rail network served by intercity rail and/or commuter rail services. 7. Bike-share stations belonging to bike-share systems that are open to the general public, IT-automated, and station based (contain hubs to which users can grab and return a bike) The data elements describe the location of the above types of terminals as well as the availability of intercity, commuter, and transit rail; scheduled air service; intercity and transit bus; intercity and transit ferry services; and bike-share availability.
Description: The emphasis placed on multi-modal transportation in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), as well as in previous transportation legislation (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA 21)) seeks to establish Park and Ride Lot development and implementation as an integral part of the overall transportation system. With States having limited road construction funding in comparison to local needs, Department s of Transportation nationwide are looking to make existing roadways as efficient as possible. Park and Ride lots, as part of an integrated transportation system, can be implemented to make maximum use of available transportation funding. In addition, Park and Ride lots have the potential to decrease traffic demand by preserving roadway capacity and encouraging the use of carpooling, vanpooling, and transit. Such facilities are generally far less expensive than the cost of adding roadway capacity or the loss of development opportunities. Park and Ride lots provide the essential safe locations where personal vehicles can be left while commuters utilize high occupancy modes of travel.
Description: This layer contains the locations of Fixed-Guideway Transit Network Stations for the State of Florida. This version of the Fixed-Guideway Transit Network is a network database of the nation's fixed-guideway transit systems. The data set covers systems in cities defined as FTA's universe of cities and includes heavy rail, light rail, monorail, cable car, inclined plane, and automated guideway.
Description: This dataset contains Florida's public transit routes. This data represents a snapshot of transit offerrings from when the data was made available by the source, for current information please contact the source agency. This dataset does not include many local community buses, shuttles, and trolleys.
