A variety of data sets related to Transportation are available from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Several of the these products available at CGRER are listed below:

The National Transportation Atlas Data Bases: 1995 and 1996 CD-ROMs contain a compilation of geographic data bases that provide the infrastructure for national planning and policy initiatives for the U.S. Department of Transportation. The databases consist of transportation networks, terminals and other structures, as well as background boundary and point files.
