FRA Grade Crossings is a spatial file that originates from the National Highway-Rail Crossing, Inventory Program. The program is to provide information to Federal, State, and local governments, as well as the railroad industry for the improvements of safety at highway-rail crossing. This is an update to the rail_xing_2016 layer.
Rail Crossings is a spatial file maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for use by States and Railroads.
Highway-railroad grade crossings are intersections where a highway crosses a railroad at-grade. Grade crossings may be public or private. Public grade crossings are roadways that are under the jurisdiction of, and maintained by, a public authority. Private grade crossings are on roadways privately owned, such as on a farm or industrial area, and is intended for use by the owner or by the owner's licensees and invitees. The National Transportation Atlas Database is a set of nationwide geographic databases of transportation facilities, transportation networks, and associated infrastructure. These datasets include spatial information for transportation modal networks and intermodal terminals, as well as the related attribute information for these features. Metadata documentation, as prescribed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee, is also provided for each database. The data support research, analysis, and decision-making across all modes of transportation. They are most useful at the national level, but have major applications at regional, state, and local scales throughout the transportation community.

Spatial and Attribute Information
Downloaded data from BTS Open Data Portal (http://osav- usdot.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/4ad2a211393b4bf5b9af664967f4a57a_0). Extracted features where "STATECODE" = '12' to select features in Florida and saved as rr_xing_2016. Reprojected file into Albers from GCS_WGS_1984 using the WGS_1984_ (ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation Removed TYPE field as it was not in the last update and had no information Removed OBJECTID field Removed 22 crossings given their location outside of Florida. Crossing IDs are: 273275L, 631054X, 931605G, 931604A, 931603T, 931602L, 931601E, 931600X, 931599F, 931598Y, 931597S, 931596K, 931595D, 931594W, 931593P, 931592H, 931591B, 932914X, 932913R, 272128V, 271977A, 853414G Added DESCRIPT field, populated it based on STREET Added FGDLAQDATE and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data Recalculated geometry of LATITUDE and LONGITUDE Restructured table Uppercased all fields

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. 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.
