A-16 TRANSPORTATION THEME UPDATEApril 3rd 2014
Background• The transportation system includes both physical and
nonphysical components related to all modes of travel that allow the movement of goods and people between locations.
• Lead Agency: US Department of Transportation
FGDC Transportation Subcommittee• Charter was reestablished in October 2010
• Chair: Mark Bradford• Co-Chair: Raquel Hunt• Partners: Census & USGS
• Work Plan 2011 & 2012: Intermodal Focused• Surveyed the Transportation Community on their requirements for
a spatial database of representation of Intermodal• Defined the data definitions and data model
• Challenges:• Lack of Resources to update the data
FGDC Transportation Subcommittee Charter
• Facilitation of partnerships and coordination of efforts among stakeholders
• Transportation networks, terminals, and services (including intermodal freight and passenger); and the movements of people and commodities
• Transportation includes all traditional transportation modes (roads, railroads, public transit, navigable waterways, and commercial air routes), intermodal connections between these modes, as well as commercial product pipelines.
