GIS Users,

Two new datasets have been recently inserted into the FDEP data library. =
The
new layers are; base.amtrak_stations and base.military_bases.
These layers can also be accessed via DataMiner through the 'Boundaries' =
tab
and are called Amtrak Stations and Military Bases respectively in =
DataMiner.

The Amtrak Stations dataset is a point data set containing Amtrak =
intercity
railroad passenger terminals in Florida. Attribute data include services =
and
passenger amenities provided at the station.

The Military Bases dataset is a polygon layer containing the boundaries =
and
location information for important military installations in Florida.=20
Users should also make a note that the layer =
dep.air_heli_and_seaplane_bases
will be deleted on August 1st and will be replaced by a much updated and
expanded version.The new layer will be called the same but there will be =
an
increment in the no of fields in the attribute table. Users should make =
a
note of the above mentioned date and update their projects accordingly.

All these datasets were recently acquired from the Bureau of =
Transportation
Statistics (BTS) GIS website and represents the latest version of the
dataset. The BTS is a part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Thanks,

BIS/GIS Section
