Formerly published as TRANS_NOC_GTLF_PUB_UNK_LINE This standard houses linear features on BLM lands as well as transportation features that provide access to BLM transportation routes. In order to meet the local or state field office needs, each state may extend its GTLF data standard to collect data to fulfill local data requirements as long as the state or field office data can be cross-walked into the National GTLF data standard format. This dataset is an ongoing process, updated periodically when better data is available. The National BLM GTLF data provides standardized transportation information for use in BLM programs and analysis. At the core, this standard stores transportation information gathered, inventoried, analyzed and recorded in a BLM Transportation Management Plan or TMP. The TMP analyzes transportation options and incorporates public participation to assist in determining travel routes, modes of travel, and season of use on selected and surrounding BLM managed lands. The Idaho BLM maintains only GTLF routes that have been recorded in a TMP. This route data is identified by COORD_SRC2 = ‘TMP – Plan Name’ and PLAN_ROUTE_DSGNTN_AUTH = ‘BLM’. All other data is considered Non-BLM authoritative, administered and maintained transportation data and is provided only as spatial and tabular reference material. As new or existing transportation data is analyzed and recorded through the TMP process, the resulting data will be incorporated into the Idaho BLM GTLF authoritative data maintenance program. The Idaho BLM GTLF data contains transportation data from many different sources across the state including the TMP process, and as such may contain a variety of spatial and tabular inaccuracies and may include errors of omission or commission. The purpose for collecting and maintaining an Idaho state-wide compilation is to provide a broad overview of the transportation network for properly focused analysis or inventory purposes and to provide connectivity between BLM managed routes and the broader transportation network. As with all spatial data, this Idaho BLM GTLF data only represents an approximate or generalized spatial and tabular description of the actual transportation route. All BLM disclaimers apply to this data and that the use of this data is at the risk of the user. Additional Notes. The purpose of this dataset is to create an Idaho BLM feature class with existing routes. Due to the lack of finalized Travel Management Plans (TMP) throughout the state the best available data was used. Where TMP data was not available we used a larger collection of 1:24,000-scale "Resource Base Data" GIS road features gathered by Idaho BLM and a variety of other data collected from the state. May 4 2018: fields added for use by ID BLM for cartographic purposes. Jan 2020 update to GTLF Schema v3.0. This data set was created and is maintained by the Bureau of Land Management staff in Idaho for only those roads identified by the metadata. All other roads are included only as background source material and are not maintained in GIS or on the ground by BLM. For more information contact us at blm_id_stateoffice@blm.gov.

[Metadata] Traffic Analysis Zones for the Island of Oahu, 2022. Source: Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO), Feb. 2024. A traffic analysis zone (TAZ) is a geographic unit used in transportation planning models. TAZs are used to represent the spatial distribution of trip origins and destinations. TAZ boundaries are defined based on Census geographies (block, block group and tract). Care has been taken so that TAZs nest within Census tracts wherever possible in order for more direct matching with Census data. TAZ boundaries are also defined by major transportation facilities (such as roadways), major environmental features (such as rivers), and with underlying land uses. The relative size of the TAZ was also a factor in determining new TAZ boundaries if the zone size was large and the zone was thought to have a significant amount of socioeconomic activity. Generally, TAZs in urban areas are smaller than those in suburban and rural areas. Note: Data is updated every 5 years or as needed.Data created by Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO) and vetted by the City and County of Honolulu, particularly the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) and the Department of Transportation Services (DTS).For more information, please see metadata at https://files.hawaii.gov/dbedt/op/gis/data/taz_oah.pdf or contact Hawaii Statewide GIS Program, Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, State of Hawaii; PO Box 2359, Honolulu, HI 96804; (808) 587-2846; email: gis@hawaii.gov; Website: https://planning.hawaii.gov/gis.
TIGER road data for the MSA. When compared to high-resolution imagery and other transportation datasets positional inaccuracies were observed. As a result caution should be taken when using this dataset. TIGER, TIGER/Line, and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau. ZCTA is a trademark of the U.S. Census Bureau. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER data base. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on January 1, 2000 legal boundaries. A complete set of census 2000 TIGER/Line files includes all counties and statistically equivalent entities in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas. The Census TIGER data base represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line files consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. The boundary information in the TIGER/Line files are for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes only; their depiction and designation for statistical purposes does not constitute a determination of jurisdictional authority or rights of ownership or entitlement. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line files do NOT contain the Census 2000 urban areas which have not yet been delineated. The files contain information distributed over a series of record types for the spatial objects of a county. There are 17 record types, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate points, and geographic codes that can be used with appropriate software to prepare maps. Other geographic information contained in the files includes attributes such as feature identifiers/census feature class codes (CFCC) used to differentiate feature types, address ranges and ZIP Codes, codes for legal and statistical entities, latitude/longitude coordinates of linear and point features, landmark point features, area landmarks, key geographic features, and area boundaries. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line data dictionary contains a complete list of all the fields in the 17 record types. This is part of a collection of 221 Baltimore Ecosystem Study metadata records that point to a geodatabase. The geodatabase is available online and is considerably large. Upon request, and under certain arrangements, it can be shipped on media, such as a usb hard drive. The geodatabase is roughly 51.4 Gb in size, consisting of 4,914 files in 160 folders. Although this metadata record and the others like it are not rich with attributes, it is nonetheless made available because the data that it represents could be indeed useful.
