Abstract:
This dataset contains Transportation Disadvantaged Service Provider Areas (TDSP) for the State of Florida. Transportation disadvantaged are those who cannot drive and do not have access to other transportation options because of age, income, or disability. The Transportation Disadvantaged Program is a coordinated state-wide effort which groups riders together for a shared ride service. Transportation services are available in all 67 Florida counties for those who are eligible and have no access to transportation. Federal, State and Local agencies join together to provide necessary transportation to medical appointments, employment, educational and other life sustaining services. The names of the transportation coordinator and contact information are included in this dataset.  Information for this layer was gathered from the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged CTD website, the CTD is an independent commission housed administratively within the Florida Department of Transportation.  This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer tdsp_jun13.shp.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

County boundaries are used to represent the boundaries of each
service provider area, as this is a county-wide function.
All counties in the project area are included.  Sub areas, if
they exist within or between counties, are not included.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:

GeoPlan created this dataset by combining information from the
following data sources:
 - FGDL County Boundary layer (version used: cntbnd_sep15.shp) 
 - Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged
   Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) Contact
   Information by County:
   http://www.fdot.gov/ctd/ctcsbycounty.htm

Using the most up to date County Boundary layer, referenced above,
GeoPlan added and populated the following fields with the most
current CTC information: NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, ZIPCODE,
COUNTY, TYPE, CONTACT, PHONE, FAX, EMAIL, WEBSITE,
TSAR, TSAR2, TSAR3, TSAR4, TSAR5, TSAR6, DESCRIPT,
FGDLAQDATE.

Where the Community Transportation Coordinator Service Provider Information
was the same between counties, a dissolve was performed on the County Boundaries.

Note: Previously the TYPE field was populated with information differentiating
between the types of service providers, including both CTC (Community 
Transportation Coordinator) and STP (Medicaid Non-Emergency Transportation 
Services Coordinator). With this update, only information on CTCs was available 
from the source. For more information, reference the Transportation Disadvantaged 
Service Plan (TDSP) for each county: http://www.fdot.gov/ctd/transportationprovider.htm.

Note: County boundaries are used to represent the boundaries of each
service provider area, as this is a county-wide function. All counties
in the project area are included. Sub areas, if they exist within or
between counties, are not included.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
