      <abstract>Version 2004 of the Fixed-Guideway Transit Network is a network database of the nation's fixed-guideway transit systems. The data set covers systems in cities defined as FTA's universe of cities and includes heavy rail, light rail, monorail, cable car, inclined plane, and automated guideway.</abstract>
      <purpose>The data provide users with information about the location and type of fixed-guideway transit and terminal facilities primarily for regional cartographic, spatial and network analysis purposes.</purpose>

    <attracc>
      <attraccr>Attribute information was obtained from individual transit agencies through telephone conversations, GIS data, transit agency websites, transit agency maps and schedules, and other traveler information systems.

    <logic>This database contains fixed-guideway transit features for agencies identified by RITA/BTS for processing as of 5/1/04.</logic>
    <complete>Data were processed for FTA's universe of cities based on the availability of source data from FTA, RITA/BTS, or local transit agencies. At this time, coverage is incomplete for the New York City area due to the lack of availability of local transit data.</complete>
    <posacc>
      <horizpa>
        <horizpar>Right-of-ways for fixed guideways were developed from GIS data provided by FTA, RITA/BTS and local transit agencies. In most cases, the source data are very accurate and complete. In rare cases where the lines were digitized, DOQQ's for the local area were used as a reference for heads-up digitizing. Station locations were verified using street maps, local DOQQ's and USGS DOQ's which were available via the internet from a variety of publicly available data clearinghouses. Data include a SOURCE field that identifies the original source of the data.</horizpar>

    <lineage>
      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Source data were compiled from a number of transit sources. The SOURCE field identifies the original source of the data. The source data were checked for duplicate arcs. Connectivity problems such as dangles were corrected. All stations were checked for existence and added when necessary. Nodes were added to the Network at Station locations to facilitate routing . Pseudo Nodes where arcs cross without a station are flagged Status = 9.</procdesc>
