The Ferry Terminals dataset represents all ferry terminals from operators that provided responses to the 2022 National Census of Ferry Operators. Areas covered by the dataset include the 50 states as well as the territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The terminals represent departure and arrival locations for ferry segments in the NCFO. As part of the NCFO questionnaire, respondents were asked terminal name, city, and state. From this information, longitudes and latitudes were obtained through open, online searches that include operator websites and map platforms such as Google Maps and Open Street Maps. As a result, terminals sometimes do not represent the exact location where ferry vessels dock but may represent other locations such as the operator's business location or alternative docking locations. However, whenever possible, the terminal locations represent departure and arrival points for that ferry segment. Each terminal contains information about its operation and ownership status and transportation connections, in addition to geographic locations, whenever operators provided this information.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Non-geographical attributes were gathered through a census of ferry operators. The geographical data were from GPS data provided from operators or from open sources online. In some instances, terminal locations were slightly adjusted to account for state/end locations of ferry routes as determined from AIS data. asNeeded April Gadsby Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Mathematical Statistician 202-875-4799 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE Washington DC 20590 United States april.gadsby@dot.gov custodian
