Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is an estimate of the average daily traffic along a defined segment of roadway. This value is calculated from short term counts taken along the same section which are then factored to produce the estimate of AADT. Because of this process, the most recent AADT for any given roadway will always be for the previous year. Data is available for all New York State Routes and roads that are part of the Federal Aid System.

Special "Texting Zones" locations along the New York State Thruway and State Highways that give motorists a pull-off area to park and use their mobile devices. Existing Park-n-Ride facilities, rest stops, parking areas and travel plazas along the Thruway and State Highways will have a dual-function as a texting zone. A total of 90 Texting Zones are located along major highways across the state. New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) in coordination with the Thruway Authority, have collaborated to provide Texting Zones location information and signage to inform drivers.

The 511NY dataset contain historical traffic and transit event information provided by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the New York City Department of Transportation, the New York State Thruway Authority and the Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition (Buffalo-Niagara Region). The file includes all incidents/accidents, construction projects and special events in New York State that were available on the 511NY traffic and transit map for the time period noted.

This data set features a hyperlink to the New York State Department of Transportation’s (NYSDOT) Traffic Data (TD) Viewer web page, which includes a link to the Traffic Data interactive map. The Traffic Data Viewer is a geospatially based Geographic Information System (GIS) application for displaying data contained in the roadway inventory database. The interactive map has five viewable data categories or ‘layers’. The five layers include: Average Daily Traffic (ADT); Continuous Counts; Short Counts; Bridges; and Grade Crossings throughout New York State.

New York State inspectors assess all of the bridges every two years including a bridge’s individual parts. Bridges are analyzed for their capacity to carry vehicular loads. Inspectors are required to evaluate, assign a condition score, and document the condition of up to 47 structural elements, including rating 25 components of each span of a bridge, in addition to general components common to all bridges. The NYSDOT condition rating scale ranges from 1 to 7, with 7 being in new condition and a rating of 5 or greater considered as good conditionBridges that cannot safely carry heavy vehicles, such as some tractor trailers, are posted with weight limits. Based upon inspection and load capacity analysis, any bridge deemed unsafe gets closed.

VMT is an estimate of travel based on traffic counts taken along the roads in New York State. Each year travel is estimated as part of the annual report to the Federal Highway Administration through the Highway Performance Monitoring System software application. The VMT estimate is stratified by the roadway Functional Classification of Principal Arterials, Minor Arterials, Collectors, and Local Roads & Street. The VMT data from 1985 through the current year is available.

NYSNet is a spatial reference network of continuously operating Global Positioning System (GPS) reference stations (CORS) throughout New York State that can be used for differential GPS applications. Depending on equipment and procedures, this network can provide users the ability to achieve centimeter positioning for surveying applications or sub-meter positioning for GIS mapping applications. Position information from this reference network can be utilized by using static data in post processing or by using the real time network (RTN).

Bicycle routes and recreational activities allowed on the route within New York State - https://www.dot.ny.gov/display/programs/bicycle. This list includes both on- and off-road bicycle routes and even includes information on surface type as well as other types of recreational activities allowed on the route.

This data set contains DOT construction project information. The data is refreshed nightly from multiple data sources, therefore the data becomes stale rather quickly.

The dataset lists the number of passengers boarding an aircraft at the NYS Airports.

This data set is a list of daily vehicle counts, in each direction, taken at the weigh-in-motion (WIM) stations operated by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) during the 2013 calendar year.

The Bus Safety Information Network (BUSNET) Profile Operator Report dataset provides a summary of annual bus passenger vehicle operators safety inspections conducted by New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The dataset is a summary listing of all operators that have one or more vehicles inspected under NYSDOT semi-annual vehicle safety inspection program by state fiscal year. The semi-annual bus inspection program is helps to reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities resulting from unsafe vehicles operating on highways in New York State.
