- 1. Strategic Plan (SP) Development for Transportation for the Nation (TFTN)
- 2. TFTN Concept “Creation and maintenance of high-quality, nationwide transportation data that is in the public domain” An initial focus on street centerlines , but eventually multi-modal Nationwide data spanning all states and territories All roads , not just Federally funded roads Achieved via coordinated efforts from multiple levels of govt. Provides a common geometric baseline Road naming Persistent segment ID numbering Advanced functionality is built on top of baseline Data is in the public domain and readily shareable
- 3. Background Influenced by several different efforts: NSGIC’s For the Nation (FTN) initiatives that called for the development of TFTN and Imagery For the Nation (IFTN) OMB Circular A-16 identifies the US-DOT as the “lead agency” for the “transportation theme” of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). US-DOT all roads data requirements such as accident reporting for enhanced safety, highway performance monitoring and bridge inventory. Aligned with several initiatives such the emerging federal Geospatial Platform concept. - one element of the “geospatial portfolio”
- 4. Identify and engage the entire stakeholder community All levels of government Private Sector Citizens (e.g. OpenStreetMap community) Define requirements, challenges and opportunities Document progress already made, good ideas & challenge current assumptions Explore implementation issues Evaluate funding requirements and sources Strategic Planning Effort

- 8. What is the purpose of TFTN? Is it to… Improve economic efficiency by minimizing duplicate spending on collecting and maintaining the same road geometry and attributes across multiple levels of government and the private sector? Identify the business processes and inter-governmental data flows that support the repeatable roll-up of local roads to the national level (i.e. a supply chain)? Establish a consensus choice for the most complete, consistent, maintained, and public version of fully routable street centerlines for the nation?

Editor's Notes
- #3: - Creation and maintenance of high-quality, nationwide transportation data that is in the public domain, and thus readily shareable across all sectors. While TFTN is ultimately envisioned to include data on all modes of transportation – rail, ports, airport, transit – the initial focus is on road centerline data which is the largest, and in some ways most complex transportation -Will provide a common geometric baseline, persistent segment ID numbering and road naming that can be built on by other stakeholders to allow advanced capabilities such as routing, linear referencing systems (LRS), expanded attribute data collection and addressing/geocoding
- #4: OMB Circular A-16 as revised 2002 identifies the US-DOT as the “lead agency” for the “transportation theme” of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The US-DOT sees TFTN as having the potential to help fulfill its responsibilities as lead agency. Aligned with several initiatives such the emerging federal Geospatial Platform concept. - one element of the “geospatial portfolio” that provides common “geospatial data, services, and applications contributed…by authoritative sources
