Here members and friends of the Transportation Planning Research Advisory Committee (TPRAC) can find information on and access to a range of data sources loosely grouped into nine major categories:Traffic, Multi-modal, Geospatial, Inventory and Land Use, Economic and Demographic, Environment, Laws and Research, Projectsand Data Clearinghouse, with a variety of subcategories as well. Special instructions and other descriptive information about various resources are included as well to help navigate.
