Abstract
New York Port Authority Rail Stations, 2009 is a point theme that represents rail stations in parts of the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH) rapid-transit system between New York and New Jersey and the AirTrain JFK light rail system. PATH data (PANYNJ lines and stations) include lines run by the Port Authority, and were digitized based on printed Port Authority documents. These data were projected for use with the Community Cartography New York City datasets and an accompanying point file of Path and AirTrain rail lines. Ridership statistics are included in the attribute data.
