This dataset contains Florida's public transit routes. This data represents a snapshot of transit offerrings from when the data was made available by the source, for current information please contact the source agency. This dataset does not include many local community buses, shuttles, and trolleys.
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Spatial and Attribute Information
GeoPlan downloaded the various inputs to this dataset in August of 2019 from the Florida Transit Data Exchange (http://www.ftis.org/Posts.aspx). The data was received in various formats including individual shapefiles, geodatabases and GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) by county. When more than one format was available the GTFS file was used as it was the most consistently available format across all counties. The field SRC_FILE was added to the final product noting what type of source file was used from each county. All GTFS files were converted to shapefile using the GTFS shapes to features conversion tool in ArcGIS Pro. All shapefiles created from GTFS were in the WGS 1984 projection. The new shapefiles were projected to NAD83 HARN using the WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. Any data received as a geodatabase was exported to shapefile and projected from NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_0901_Feet (Broward), NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_0902_Feet (Citrus), NAD_1983_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_0902_Feet (Hernando), NAD_1983_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_0901_Feet (Indian River), to NAD83 HARN Shapefiles were projected from GCS_WGS_1984 (Volusia) to NAD83 HARN. Some geodatabases and shapefiles were received with individual files for each route. In these cases the features were merged and if there was no unique information for route segments the routes were dissolved. - Added COUNTY field based on county where route is located. - Added field NAME based on most appropriate name field provided. - Added SRC_NAME field based on the name of the transit system as listed on the Florida Transit Data Exchange downloads page. - Added SRC_FILE field based on the type of source file used to create the data. - Added SRC_DATE field based on the date listed by the source in the downloaded file name. - Added DESCRIPT field based on concatenation of ROUTE and NAME fields. - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from Florida Transit Data Exchange. - Upcased all fields except for URL. - For source file names see citation information.

GeoPlan
Contains the short name of a route. This is a short, abstract identifier like 32, 100X, or Green that riders use to identify a route, but which doesn't give any indication of what places the route serves.
Source Transit Agency
Contains the full name of a route. This name is generally more descriptive than the name from the route field and often includes the route's destination or stop.
Source Transit Agency
Describes a route.
Source Transit Agency
Route type. Describes the type of transportation used on a route. The following are valid values for this field.
Source Transit Agency
Used for any light rail or street-level system within a metropolitan area.
Used for any underground rail system within a metropolitan area.
Used for intercity or long-distance travel.
Used for short- and long-distance bus routes.
Used for short and long distance boat service.
Used for street level cable cars where the cable runs beneath the car.
Typically used for aerial cable cars where the car is suspended from the cable.
Used for any rail system that moves on steep inclines with a cable traction system.
The name of the transit system as listed on the Florida Transit Data Exchange downloads page.

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.
