Abstract
U.S. National Transportation Atlas Interstate Highways represents rural and urban interstate highways. U.S. National Transportation Atlas Interstate Highways is part of the National Highway Planning Network, published by the Federal Highway Administration as part of the National Transportation Atlas Databases for the United States.
Purpose
U.S. National Transportation Atlas Interstate Highways provides a comprehensive database of interstate highways from the nation's principal arterial highway system and the National Highway System. The data is generalized to improve draw performance and be used effectively at a national level.

Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
The dataset is converted to file geodatabase (FGDB) format using tools in ArcGIS. The geometry is checked, and if needed repaired.
Completeness Report
After processing, the dataset is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The original positional accuracy had a maximal positional error of ±80 meters, and then it was generalized to a tolerance of 0.003 decimal degrees. The positional accuracy is unknown.
