- Abstract
- This polygon data layer represents MCTS ridership for 2007. The dataset was originally published by the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) in 2007.[For the APCqs07 file, the most important field to know is the very last field, the sum_average field, which indicates the average of the total ons/offs in that quarter section. This is the field you'll probably want to base a graduated color map on to show these values in a lighter to darker color scheme with increasing values.You can get the sums of the ons and offs by time period as well if you want to look at specific time periods. AM = 6am-9am, midday = 9am-3pm, PM = 3pm-6pm, evening = 6pm-930pm, and late night = 930pm-6amOns are always listed before offs by time period, fyi. It may help for you to rename these fields as you see fit using MS Access.Some of these fields are useless because they're just sums of fields that did not have to be summed up during the data join process, but were summed anyway by default of the function, such as the lat/longs, directions, route numbers, etc. so don't worry about anything that's not a polygon description field (such as township, range, section, qs, etc) or a ridership count field such as am, pm, total, etc.]
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.
