The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has 10 different regions across the United States. The regions cover all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories. Staff within the FTA regions provide support in cities/regions with greater transit activities. All these officials develop and manage grants. FTA also overseas safety measures. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1522278 The FTA Region layer shows the areas and regions FTA uses to provide financial and technical assistance to local public transit systems, including buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, trolleys and ferries.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. The USDOT region layer for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) was created by the Bureau and Transportation Statistics (BTS), then approved by a member of the FTA. BTS communicated with FTA personnel to help understand where the FTA Regions are and which areas it should encompass, mostly adhering to the regions listed via a map/table/text on FTA's website https://www.transit.dot.gov/about/regional-offices/regional-offices. As a result, Esri's ArcPro (or any geospatial software) was utilized in creating polygons, using the U.S. Census state 2020 TIGER/Line shapefile to designate the FTA regional boundaries by dissolving the Census state file to represent one cohesive entity/region. To populate the attributes, BTS communicated with the FTA to understand the address and contact information for each region via their website. Various fields were then added to the database schema to accommodate this information using the "add field" function within ArcGIS Pro, and then derived from the FTA's website, filled out appropriately by BTS with FTA's guidance and ultimate approval. data is updated as deemed necessary William Wong Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Community Planner 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE Washington DC 20590 United States w.wong@dot.gov party that accepts accountability and responsability for the data and ensures appropriate care and maintenance of the resource
