THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:
Data for individual MPOs were collected from the MPOs, state DOTs, and other government agencies. Data were received in a variety of geospatial data formats. The Federal Highway Administration and BTS collected the individual MPO files, digitized raster images where necessary and reformatted geospatial data files to fit into a national database. Data collected from the above-listed agencies was not edited or altered in any way. If you have questions about the process steps for particular MPOs or regions, please contact BTS.

Process_Description:
In July 2007 Geoplan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in CDROM format

-GeoPlan extracted this data in shapefile format and removed facilities not located in Florida. -The shapefile was reprojected from WGS_1984 Decimal Degrees to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). - All records were upcased. - Changed original layer name from MPO to MPOBND_2007. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on MPO_NAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download. - Deleted empty fields: INCLUDED_2 - 14 - Deleted AREA field

Process_Date: 20070712
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile.
