DC Streetcar Stop Locations and Attributes

Streetcar stop data for the District of Columbia public transit system. The dataset is provided by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and was last updated in April 2026. It includes information on stops for the DC Streetcar system, which launched in February 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze stop density and spatial distribution using geospatial coordinates for network planning.
• Model pedestrian accessibility to transit by calculating distances from streetcar stops to other points of interest.
• Assess multimodal connectivity by joining stop locations with data from other systems like DC Circulator or Capital Bike Share.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, KML, ArcGIS REST API) for interoperability.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license by an official government organization (District of Columbia).

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count) and attribute details (column names) are not provided in the metadata.
• The temporal coverage of the stop attributes (e.g., when each stop was added or modified) is unclear.
