- Abstract
- This is a public dataset for the Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration's Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The public database consists of four tables. One of the tables is a spatial table: INTERMODAL_FACILITY. The three other tables consist of attribute data for the database: INTERMODAL_CARGO, INTERMODAL_COMMODITY and INTERMODAL_DIRECTIONALITY. This database was based on the requirements from the Commodity Flow Survey and with the different modes of DOT, supervised by RITA/BTS. The database will extend its design to support all of the modes within the DOT and in reference to modes involved with Intermodal transfer.
- Purpose
- This is a public dataset for the Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration's Bureau of Transportation Statistics for internal use in GIS efforts. The data can be utilized alone or in conjunction with various networks developed for the data.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- A single coordinate pair for GIS reference represents all points. A unique id number relates the records to other tables. A parent id is required, which may be used to aggregate to its facility, which is the granularity of the publicly released data.
- Completeness Report
- All records require geocoding, mode type, facility type, unique name combination, and unique id to be included in the final dataset.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- Geocode source holds the source of the spatial coordinates, particular sources have varying spatial accuracy and is noted below.
