National Transit Database (NTD)

The National Transit Database (NTD) is a federal repository that collects and maintains data on public transportation systems in the United States. It helps track information such as ridership numbers, finances, and service quality for bus, rail, and other transit services. The NTD supports transit agencies and policymakers by providing insights into trends, efficiency, and performance, promoting transparency and better decision-making for public transportation improvements. Ultimately, this data helps ensure that communities have access to reliable and effective transit options.
