The National Transit Map - Routes dataset was compiled on June 02, 2025 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The National Transit Map (NTM) is a nationwide catalog of fixed-guideway and fixed-route transit service in America. It is compiled using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Schedule data. The NTM Routes dataset shows transit routes, which is a group of trips that are displayed to riders as a single service. To display the route alignment and trips for each route, this dataset combines the following GTFS files: routes.txt, trips.txt, and shapes.txt. The GTFS Schedule documentation is available at, https://gtfs.org/schedule/. To improve the spatial accuracy of the NTM Routes, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) adjusts transit routes using context from the submitted GTFS source data and/or from other publicly available information about the transit service. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529048

The National Transit Map - Agencies dataset was compiled on June 02, 2025 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The National Transit Map (NTM) is a nationwide catalog of fixed-guideway and fixed-route transit service in America. It is compiled using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Schedule data. The GTFS Schedule documentation is available at, https://gtfs.org/schedule/. The NTM Agencies dataset represents the physical addresses of participating transit agencies. Regarding data coverage and licenses, starting in Report Year 2023, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has required National Transit Database (NTD) Reporters to submit General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data. Reporters will submit GTFS during their reporting period, which is determined by their fiscal year end date. All GTFS data submitted to the NTD will enter the public domain. Prior to the GTFS requirement, transit agencies voluntarily participated in the NTM and granted the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States (CC-BY-3.0) license.

The National Transit Map - Stops dataset was compiled on June 02, 2025 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The National Transit Map (NTM) is a nationwide catalog of fixed-guideway and fixed-route transit service in America. It is compiled using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Schedule data. The NTM Stops dataset shows stops where vehicles pick up or drop off riders. This dataset uses the GTFS stops.txt file. The GTFS schedule format and structure documentation is available at, https://gtfs.org/schedule/. To improve the spatial accuracy of the NTM Stops, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) adjusts transit stops using context from the submitted GTFS source data and/or from other publicly available information about the transit service.

This study includes the number of public transit stops per United States census tract or ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) based on data from the National Transit Map (NTM). Each observation represents the count and density (per capita and square mile) of transit stops within a census tract or ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA), as voluntarily reported to NTM between 2016-2018 and 2024 by one of 270 regional transit agencies choosing to participate.

This layer depicts the public transportation lines received through the Esri Community Maps program, USDOT, and publicly available datasets from agencies, municipalities and countries around the world. It is designed to be used with the other World Transit layers in the Living Alas. These layers include:World Transit Agency CentroidsWorld Transit StopsWorld Transit Lines by ModalityThese transit layers can be accessed together through the following resources:World Transit Group LayerWorld Transit Web MapWorld Transit Viewer (Web Mapping Application)The public transit lines are symbolized using color codes (six digit hexadecimal) provided by transit agencies. These colors correspond to many agencies" color designations such as in the Washington DC Metro with the Red, Orange, Blue, Green Yellow and Silver lines. The transit data is received in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format, an open data standard for public transportation data. Each GTFS dataset is a zipped archive of comma-separated files describing the transit services, including the geometry for mapping. Esri converts GTFS datasets into ready-to-use map layers and makes them available as Feature Services in the Living Atlas. Esri Transit map layers include data from Esri Community Maps contributors, the US Department of Transportation, as well as publicly available GTFS datasets. Please note that any data layer fields marked with an "(Esri)" tag have been added by Esri to provide user-friendly translations of GTFS standard values or to add additional context and value. Community Maps GTFS dataThrough the Esri Community Maps Program, transit organizations are able to submit their own GTFS data for use across the ArcGIS platform, giving their data more visibility and accessibility to users. Organizations interested in sharing their data can join the Community Maps Program as a data contributor.
