This layer features special areas of interest (AOIs) that have been contributed to Esri Community Maps using the new Community Maps Editor app. The data that is accepted by Esri will be included in selected Esri basemaps, including our suite of Esri Vector Basemaps, and made available through this layer to export and use offline. Export DataThe contributed data is also available for contributors and other users to export (or extract) and re-use for their own purposes. Users can export the full layer from the ArcGIS Online item details page by clicking the Export Data button and selecting one of the supported formats (e.g. shapefile, or file geodatabase (FGDB)). User can extract selected layers for an area of interest by opening in Map Viewer, clicking the Analysis button, viewing the Manage Data tools, and using the Extract Data tool. To display this data with proper symbology and metadata in ArcGIS Pro, you can download and use this layer file.Data UsageThe data contributed through the Community Maps Editor app is primarily intended for use in the Esri Basemaps. Esri staff will periodically (e.g. weekly) review the contents of the contributed data and either accept or reject the data for use in the basemaps. Accepted features will be added to the Esri basemaps in a subsequent update and will remain in the app for the contributor or others to edit over time. Rejected features will be removed from the app.Esri Community Maps Contributors and other ArcGIS Online users can download accepted features from this layer for their internal use or map publishing, subject to the terms of use below.

Deprecation notice: This tool is deprecated because this functionality is now available with out-of-the-box tools in ArcGIS Pro. The tool author will no longer be making further enhancements or fixing major bugs.Use Add GTFS to a Network Dataset to incorporate transit data into a network dataset so you can perform schedule-aware analyses using the Network Analyst tools in ArcMap.After creating your network dataset, you can use the ArcGIS Network Analyst tools, like Service Area and OD Cost Matrix, to perform transit/pedestrian accessibility analyses, make decisions about where to locate new facilities, find populations underserved by transit or particular types of facilities, or visualize the areas reachable from your business at different times of day. You can also publish services in ArcGIS Server that use your network dataset.The Add GTFS to a Network Dataset tool suite consists of a toolbox to pre-process the GTFS data to prepare it for use in the network dataset and a custom GTFS transit evaluator you must install that helps the network dataset read the GTFS schedules. A user's guide is included to help you set up your network dataset and run analyses.Instructions:Download the tool. It will be a zip file.Unzip the file and put it in a permanent location on your machine where you won't lose it. Do not save the unzipped tool folder on a network drive, the Desktop, or any other special reserved Windows folders (like C:\Program Files) because this could cause problems later.The unzipped file contains an installer, AddGTFStoaNetworkDataset_Installer.exe. Double-click this to run it. The installation should proceed quickly, and it should say "Completed" when finished.Read the User's Guide for instructions on creating and using your network dataset.System requirements:ArcMap 10.1 or higher with a Desktop Standard (ArcEditor) license. (You can still use it if you have a Desktop Basic license, but you will have to find an alternate method for one of the pre-processing tools.) ArcMap 10.6 or higher is recommended because you will be able to construct your network dataset much more easily using a template rather than having to do it manually step by step. This tool does not work in ArcGIS Pro. See the User's Guide for more information.Network Analyst extensionThe necessary permissions to install something on your computer.Data requirements:Street data for the area covered by your transit system, preferably data including pedestrian attributes. If you need help preparing high-quality street data for your network, please review this tutorial.A valid GTFS dataset. If your GTFS dataset has blank values for arrival_time and departure_time in stop_times.txt, you will not be able to run this tool. You can download and use the Interpolate Blank Stop Times tool to estimate blank arrival_time and departure_time values for your dataset if you still want to use it.Help forum
