LibGuides: Government Datasets, Statistical Data &amp; Census Information: Transportation

Transportation datasets encompass a vast array of information related to the movement of people and goods across various modes of transportation, including road, rail, air, and water. These datasets compile data on transportation infrastructure, traffic volumes, travel times, vehicle registrations, freight shipments, and public transportation ridership. Researchers, urban planners, policymakers, and transportation agencies utilize transportation datasets to analyze transportation trends, assess infrastructure needs, and inform transportation planning and policy decisions. By examining these datasets, stakeholders gain insights into traffic patterns, congestion hotspots, modal shifts, and the environmental impact of transportation activities. Additionally, transportation datasets support route optimization, logistics planning, and emergency response efforts. Accessible and comprehensive transportation datasets play a crucial role in improving transportation efficiency, enhancing safety, and promoting sustainable transportation solutions for communities worldwide. They provide valuable information for optimizing transportation systems and ensuring seamless mobility for individuals and goods.

FDOT Statistics The Transportation and Data Analytics Office is the FDOT's central clearinghouse and principal source for highway, traffic, travel time, multimodal, and freight and passenger data information. We provide the data and information supporting the FDOT's mission to ensure mobility for people and goods. The data and information we provide cover a range of periods: historic, current, and future. The office gathers data directly through automated means and indirectly through district field personnel. In some cases, we rely on third-party data providers. TDA provides tools and training to record, process, provide access, analyze, evaluate, and report data. The office also publishes informational documents and answers special requests for data inside and outside the agency. Our role is to take the data in its raw form, add value to data (not simply warehouse it), explain and instruct in data use, and provide project-specific analyses to our customers.
Federal Highway Administration (FHA) Who We Are The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation that supports State and local governments in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation’s highway system (Federal Aid Highway Program) and various federally and tribal owned lands (Federal Lands Highway Program). Through financial and technical assistance to State and local governments, the Federal Highway Administration is responsible for ensuring that America’s roads and highways continue to be among the safest and most technologically sound in the world.
Florida - Transportation Data Portal The Transportation Data Portal is a platform for locating data related to the core mission of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The department’s primary statutory responsibility is to coordinate the planning and development of a safe, viable, and balanced state transportation system serving all regions of the state, and to assure the compatibility of all components, including multimodal facilities. This online resource can be used to explore and download open geospatial data; analyze and combine open datasets using maps; develop new web/mobile applications and more.

Office of Bridge Technology (DOT/FHA) Bridges and structures are key components of the nation's roadway network that provide transportation connectivity to safely cross features such as waterways, railways, roadways, and other obstacles. The FHWA Office of Bridges and Structures provides national policy and technical guidance related to the design, construction, inspection, evaluation, management, and preservation of the nation's inventory of highway bridges, tunnels, culverts, walls, and other ancillary structures. This is done through regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations and in supporting policy documents such as memos and technical advisories. The Office of Bridges and Structures provides a technical function to support the safety, stewardship and oversight of over 610,000 highway bridges, more than 500 tunnels, and numerous other structures across the entire USA. Under the Federal-Aid Highway Program, FHWA annually distributes funding of approximately $7 billion to assist transportation agencies plan, design, build, repair, rehabilitate, and inspect such bridges and structures. The Office also performs key activities that support the national advancement of tools and technology in engineering. The staff actively serves on key committees to identify the emerging issues and develop innovative solutions and strategies to address the needs of the industry. Research is executed and implemented through national standards and specifications to improve the safety and performance of infrastructure. Training is provided to meet the needs of the DOTs and the industry at large. The Office of Bridges and Structures has four engineering teams: Structural Engineering (including specialists in steel, concrete, tunnels, seismic, security, and load rating), Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering (including hydrology, hydraulics, scour, coastal, climate change, foundations, slopes, embankments, and soil materials), Bridge and Tunnel Safety Inspection (bridge and tunnel safety inspections), and Structures Management and Preservation (structures asset management, preservation, funding, and bridge and tunnel national inventories).
Strategic Highway Research Publications As part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) mobilizes expertise, experience, and knowledge to anticipate and solve complex transportation-related challenges. For example, committees, researchers, and staff are currently focused on advancing resilient infrastructure, exploring transformational technology, and caring for the public’s health and safety. TRB’s mission is divided into three primary roles:
