Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains the Federal-aid Highway System layer from the OCTOBER 2007 version of the Florida Department of Transportation Roads Characteristics inventory (RCI) dataset. This layer represents roadways eligible for funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), both routine and disaster-related. (Note: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can provide emergency federal funding for roads that are not eligible for FHWA funding.)

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

The RCI is a computerized database of physical and administrative data related to the roadway networks that are either maintained by or are of special interest to the Department. In addition to data required by the Department, the RCI contains other data as required for special Federal and State reporting obligations. The RCI is maintained by District and Central Office personnel. While there are many other important databases maintained by the Department (several that contain more highly technical data such as bridge specifications, highway design, or pavement) the RCI remains the largest database with over 1 million records.

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_Step:

Process_Description:

The data set was taken from the Florida Department of Transportation Statistics Office from the following webpage: <http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/gis> The data set was originally downloaded in OCTOBER 2007 as the RCI basemap. Specific instructions, created by URS Corporation and the GeoPlan Center, were carried out. The data set is then to be updated on a regular basis. The data was originally in UTM Zone 17, Nad83, units meters. The data was projected to Albers HPGN.

-Download the most recent DOTShapesGDB.mdb -Exported feature class fahwysys to shapefile -Changed name to RCI_FEDAID -Added a descript field based on field FED_HWY_SY -Projected the shape file to the standard FGDL projection.

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

National Highway System (NHS) - The NHS is a subset of public roads, mostly on the State Highway System, that have national significance. It includes Interstates and other major highways, as well as smaller roads that provide immediate access to certain intermodal facilities such as airports, seaports, transit stations, and truck terminals. Roads and other facilities were originally designated as NHS facilities by Congress, and FHWA approval is required to make any changes or additions to these designations. NHS roads are Federal-Aid Eligible, and in fact have their own category of funds. For more information on the NHS, see <http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/safetealu/factsheets/nhs.htm># and <http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/nhs/>

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 6

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Surface Transportation Program (STP) - STP roads are all Federal-Aid Eligible roads other than NHS roads. A roads is given the STP classification automatically if it is functionally classified by FHWA as Principle Arterial, Minor Arterial, Urban Collector, or Rural Major Collector. A road that is classified as a Rural Minor Collector, Rural Local, or Urban Local is not STP and is not Federal-Aid Eligible unless it happens to be an intermodal facility connector designated as NHS. For more information on the STP, see <http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/safetealu/factsheets/stp.htm>

Enumerated_Domain:

Enumerated_Domain_Value: 9

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Federal Aid None (FA None) - Roads that are neither NHS nor STP are designated as FA None. They are not eligible for FHWA funding, but may be eligible for funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the event of a disaster. For more information on FEMA funding, see <http://www.fema.gov/>
