				<gco:CharacterString>The National Transportation Response and Recovery Program (NTRRP) Regions dataset is as of February 22, 2019 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The USDOT Regions dataset contains the designated regions for each Operating Administration (OA) within the US Department of Transportation (USDOT). Included in the attribute table for each OA are the region name, region number, and office location, where applicable. There are no regions for the entirety of the USDOT. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529050</gco:CharacterString>
			</gmd:abstract>
			<gmd:purpose>
				<gco:CharacterString>To represent the administrative regional boundaries for an Operating Administration (OA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation. Depending on the OA, the region can have many functions. Most notably, regions are designated to either administer safety, policy, or funding programs for certain areas in the U.S.</gco:CharacterString>

Data is pulled from the Census state boundary file on NTAD as well as the regional office websites. States are listed in regions via table/graph/or text. State’s boundaries are dissolved to form one cohesive entity. The attribute table is derived from data on regional office websites as completely as the data allows.</gco:CharacterString>
