Abstract
The "Transportation_line" dataset is a line representation of New York City transportation route boundaries. The data is comprised of line geometries with attribute information. Feature classifications include: Alley, Unpaved, Airport Runway, Driveways over 200', Concrete Boardwalk, Curbs, Wooden Boardwalk, Road Edge, Obscured Road Edge.
Purpose
Transportation_line has been maintained and updated as a component of the New York City Basemap.

Data Quality Information
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
All the NYCMap data was aerotriangulated and stereo-compiled to meet ASPRS Class 1 horizontal mapping standards and ASPRS vertical Class 2 accuracy specifications. The mapping standards deal with Root Mean Square (RMS) calculations that states if a random number of clearly identifiable surveyed ground control points throughout the project were compared to the mapped features, the RMS of the points would not exceed 2'. In layman's terms, 95% of the data is accurate to +/- 2'.
