Florida Transportation Almanac and Atlas produced on CD-ROM

In its continuing efforts to serve as an information resource for the state of Florida, CUTR recently released a second edition of the Florida Transportation Almanac, this one on CD-ROM. This electronic version complements the 274-page printed version, which was published in July 1995. The CD-ROM, though in a new media, still contains a wealth of information on transportation and related topics and also has downloadable data files and an Atlas of Florida transportation-related maps.

As did its predecessor, this edition includes data from existing sources throughout Florida and the United States. A range of transportation topics is covered, including:

  • demographic information for the U.S., Florida, and the 67 counties in the state;

  • travel behavior characteristics and trends in Florida and the U.S.;

  • modal statistics for highways, aviation, public transportation, rail, seaports, transportation demand management, freight, and ITS;

  • tourism statistics for the state;

  • transportation financing information, including summary data on Florida’s transportation tax and fee sources and transportation costs associated with the construction and operation of various modes;

  • transportation education and research programs at the state’s universities and colleges and a summary of activities of transportation research organizations; and

  • a directory of contact information for transportation-related organizations in Florida, including planning agencies, operating agencies, commissions, councils, and committees, among others.

The Atlas portion contains public domain maps of Florida features including state and county boundaries, highways, railroads, airports, and populated places. The map files are available for users who have their own mapping software, but a map viewer has been included for users who do not have access to such software.

CUTR designed the CD-ROM to run with modest system requirements which include a 386 or higher processor, 4MB RAM, a CD-ROM drive, 10MB hard disk space, MS-DOS 5.0 or higher and Windows 3.0 or higher.
