The National Transit Map (NTM) is a nationwide catalog of fixed-guideway and fixed-route transit service in America. It is compiled using General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Schedule data. The NTM Stops dataset shows stops where vehicles pick up or drop off riders. This dataset uses the GTFS stops.txt file to locate transit stops and joins information from the GTFS stop_times.txt, trips.txt, and routes.txt files to indicate the type of transit that services a stop. To improve the spatial accuracy of the NTM Stops, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) adjusts transit stops using context from the submitted GTFS source data and/or from other publicly available information about the transit service. The intent of the National Transit Map (NTM) is to support research, analysis, and planning. It is not intended to replace existing customer services available through transit agency websites and commercial trip planning service providers.
