The Travel Monitoring Analysis System (TMAS) - Volume dataset was compiled on December 31, 2023 and was published on July 16, 2024 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The TMAS data included in this table have been collected by the FHWA from State DOTs through (temporal data representing each time period) permanent count data. DOTs determine what volume data is reported for any given month or day within the month. Each record in the volume data for the reported site, direction or lane is for the given day of record (it contains all 24 hours of data). The attributes are used by FHWA for its Travel Monitoring Analysis System and external agencies and have been intentionally limited to _location referencing attributes since the core station description attribute data are contained within TMAS. The attributes in the Volume data correspond with the Volume file format found in Chapter 6 of the 2001 Traffic Monitoring Guide (https://doi.org/10.21949/1519109).

The Travel Monitoring Analysis System (TMAS) dataset is as of June 6, 2017, and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics's (BTS's) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The data included in the GIS Traffic Stations Version database have been collected by the FHWA from the State DOTs. Location referencing information was derived from State offices of Transportation The attributes on the point elements of the database are used by FHWA for its Travel Monitoring and Analysis System and by State DOTs. The attributes for these databases have been intentionally limited to location referencing attributes since the core station description attribute data are contained within the Station Description Tables (SDT). here is a separate Station Description Table (SDT) for each of the station types. The attributes in the Station Description Table correspond with the Station Description Record found in Chapter 6 of the latest Traffic Monitoring Guide. The SDT contains the most recent stations available for each state and station type. This table was derived from files provided UTCTR by FHWA. The Station Description Table can be linked to the station shapefile via the STNNKEY field. Some station where not located in the US, and were beyond available geographic extents causing display problems. These were moved to Lat and Long 0,0. This is in recognition that the locations of these stations where in error, but were moved to a less obtusive area.
