National Transit Map

  • Since its release in 2016 by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), researchers have used the National Transit Map (NTM) to illustrate the role of transit and examine how local, regional, and national transportation networks work together.
  • The NTM is a nationwide catalog of fixed-guideway and fixed-route transit service in America that is gleaned from voluntarily provided General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data for both fixed-guideway and fixed-route service.
  • A geospatial database is included that can be used to display transit agencies’ stops and routes for the purpose of supporting research, analysis, and planning.
