APTS Inventory Data Collection

• 4th iteration of Inventory previous efforts in
  2001, 2003, and 2005.
• Email form/instructions to update inventory and
  follow-ups.

  agencies (77). Of Agencies that did not respond,
  most current data used. In some cases, this is
  2003 data.
• APTS Categories were slightly altered to more
  closely match the FTA/USDOT sponsored report

Inventory Shortcomings

• Not all data is completely current.
• Responses were not standardized causing
  multiple versions of data that may or may not be
  the same making analysis problematic.
• Data is incomplete in areas, especially with
  newer categories and funding information.
