2015 National Transit Data Base

The FTA has released the 2015 National Transit Database (NTD) data products.
Visit the NTD Data page to view the full set.
Established in 1974, the NTD has collected financial, performance and service information from all FTA-funded transit agencies.
You can view electronic versions of these products from as far back as 1997 on the NTD website.




Over the past 15 years, the annual data products have included:

• a set of database files that publish in full the information available in the annual NTD database
• a set of time series files with select data from 1991 through the most recent year
• a set of data tables that organize into groupings allowing for popular analysis and comparisons

With the 2015 release, FTA has overhauled the historic data tables, reformatting and reorganizing to accommodate quicker and more logical analysis of the data. 
We encourage you to reference our Data Products Guide to help understand these changes and navigate the new format.

"Holding Back the Years" is the 7th track on Simply Red's debut studio album Picture Book. The song was a huge success for the group and quickly rose to the top of charts across the world. The single is one of two Simply Red songs (the other being their cover of "If You Don't Know Me by Now") to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, for the week ending July 12, 1986. It also reached #2 in the UK and was a worldwide hit. It had initially been released in the UK the year before, but only reached #51.

Got 5 Minutes? Help Shape ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan

Got five minutes? You can help shape ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan Interactive online survey available until Nov. 11 lets you rank what’s most important

PHOENIX – In transportation, ADOT is constantly looking ahead. What needs will emerge over the next 25 years? What new technologies will influence how our transportation system operates? How will we fund necessary improvements? One of the ways the Arizona Department of Transportation looks to the future is “What Moves You Arizona,” the Long-Range Transportation Plan we up-dated every five years. They need your input to do that. ADOT has developed an interactive online survey that’s easy and engaging. It gives you the opportunity to rank six transportation priorities: preservation, expansion, safety, technology, accessibility, and maintenance and operations. You get a budget and determine how much of it you’d allocate for each priority. Then you decide tradeoff scenarios that further define your priorities. This survey lets you experience what we face as transportation planners: setting priorities and making difficult choices with limited resources.  Those who’ve participated so far have ranked safety and expansion highly. And when it comes to managing funds, preservation and expansion get the most dollars for transportation investments. ADOT wants to hear from more of you! The survey is available until Nov. 11 at whatmovesyouarizona.metroquest.com. It only takes a few minutes and can be completed on a computer, smartphone or tablet. A Spanish-language version of the survey is also available via the link. While ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan isn’t project-specific, it does identify investment priorities based on current and projected transportation funding over the next 25 years. It’s up to the public, policymakers and communities to tell ADOT what’s important to them throughout the long-range planning process, and to prioritize projects and funding. Visit azdot.gov/WhatMovesYouArizona for more information on ADOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan and to leave a comment. The website also lists study milestones, including a full summary of 12 workshops held earlier this year around the state.  The final version of the plan is expected to be complete in early 2017.       Uploaded on May 26, 2010 Views: 352 Part of a commitment to looking into the future, and working with all stakeholders to build a plan, ADOT community outreach staff from across the talk about the challenges, opportunities and critical need for public input into the process.
