Over 55 percent of the approximately 7,100 passenger transportation 
terminals in the United States offer travelers the ability 
to connect among the scheduled passenger transportation modes 
according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics recently 
completed Intermodal Passenger Connectivity Database (IPCD).  
Rail stations are most likely to offer connectivity, while 
connections are least likely to exist at airports.  The IPCD 
is the first ever national quantification of the degree of 
connectivity in the passenger transportation system. It 
provides data on how many modes provide service at, or within 
a close radius of the rail, air, intercity bus and ferry 
terminals in the United States.

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'.

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
In July 2013 GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of 
Transportation Statistics (BTS) in CDROM format. The data 
was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees.  During the QA/QC process
GeoPlan performed the following tasks:

- Records were selected where "State" = 'FL' to select only features in Florida and
  exported. 
- Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN.
- All records in the table were upcased.
- Added DESCRIPT based on FACTILITY_N
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on date received from source
- Renamed file bts_ipcd_2013 from ipcd
Process Date: 20140312
