New York State Roadway Inventory System with Federal Aid Eligibility

The dataset provides a hyperlink to an interactive GIS map viewer maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation. This viewer displays two key data layers: the Federal Aid Eligible Public Roadway System and Non-Federal Aid Eligible State Routes. It serves as a geospatial interface for the underlying roadway inventory database.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of Federal Aid Eligible roads versus Non-Federal Aid Eligible State Routes across New York State.
• Integrate the interactive map's Federal Aid Eligibility layer with other transportation planning datasets for infrastructure analysis.
• Use the GIS application to visually inspect the Functional Classification of road segments within the state's inventory.

Strengths

• Data is maintained by the authoritative New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).
• The interactive map provides two distinct, viewable data layers for analysis.
• Includes tags for key attributes like Federal Aid Eligibility and Functional Classification.

Limitations

• The provided data is a hyperlink to a web viewer, not a downloadable tabular or spatial dataset.
• No information is provided on the underlying database's row count, column structure, or sample data.
• The dataset's size, specific update frequency, and detailed schema are unknown.
