Abstract:  Line feature GIS dataset layer depicting public transit routes in Kansas City, KS (Wyandotte County, KS). It shows bus routes currently serving Kansas City, KS operated by Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA, the 'Metro')), Unified Government Transit (the 'Bus'), and Johnson County Transit (the 'JO'). Bus route lines were delineated for GIS by digitizing routes identified on official transit maps/schedules, and attributed accordingly. Route schedule times are not included. Furnished in ESRI Shapefile format in Kansas North State Plane Coordinate System, units feet.

Purpose: Intended to illustrate bus route network in Kansas City, KS (KCK) for mapping and display in the UG Enterprise GIS at scale of 1:1200 or smaller. Where this dataset's bus lines continue into neighboring cities they are clipped at KCK city limits. Not included are departure/arrival times, fares, transfer points, transit center--bus shelter--park and ride locations--, or dial-a-ride services. This dataset not intended for use in trip planning- refer to transit company schedules for up-to-date and detailed trip planning information.

Description: Research on transit company web sites yielded bus route alignments, which were extracted on a street segment by street segment basis (copy and paste) and placed into this dataset (geodatabase feature class) in GIS software. Attribution was coded as needed into each line segment.

Organization's name: Various transit authorities

Data quality report - Conceptual consistency:
Measure description: Using transit company route info as basis, existing centerline GIS file segments matching bus lines were captured and pasted into this dataset. Where multiple bus routes traverse same centerline segment, there will be duplicate and coincident line features (but coded differently by route assignment). No contiguous centerline segments with same route designations were merged-- there is a one-to-one relationship with street segments in centerline and appearance of segments in this file. Where bus lines continue into neighboring municipalities they are truncated at Kansas City, KS city limits

Data quality report - Completeness omission:
Measure description: All public transit routes included

Data quality report - Quantitative attribute accuracy:
Measure description: Attribution taken from transit company sources. Should be accurate as of publication date

Data quality report - Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description: Accuracy not definable. Route segment alignments in this file do correspond to transit route city streets, as depicted by centerline GIS file.
