North American Rail Network Lines

The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines dataset was created in 2016 and was updated on January 29, 2026 from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The NARN Rail Lines dataset is a database that provides ownership, trackage rights, type, passenger, STRACNET, and  geographic reference for North America's railway system at 1:24,000 or better within the United States. The data set covers all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Mexico, and Canada. The RROWNER1–3 fields identify the parties responsible for operation, maintenance, and/or ownership to the railroad. It includes the railroad dispatcher (operational control) identifying the specific railroad entity managing the movement of trains over that segment, the maintenance responsibility identifying who is legally obligated to maintain the rail line, and/or the property owner (land and right-of-way) identifying the entity that owns the underlying land. While many railroads own their right-of-way (ROW) in "fee simple", others operate on land owned by a third party. The same entity may fulfill one or more of these roles on the same line.  A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1528950

Aviation Facilities

The Aviation Facilities dataset is updated every 28 days from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The Aviation Facilities dataset is a geographic point database of all official and operational aerodromes in the United States and U.S. Territories. Attribute data is provided on the physical and operational characteristics of the aerodrome, current usage including enplanements and aircraft operations, congestion levels and usage categories. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data Product.

National Waterway Network Nodes

The National Waterway Network Nodes dataset is periodically updated by the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The National Waterway Network (NWN) is a geographic database of navigable waterways and channels in and around the United States, for analytical studies of navigation performance, for compiling commodity flow statistics, and for mapping purposes. The NWN is comprised of a link database and a node database. Links are line strings, which consist of beginning and end points (nodes) with intermediate vertices (shape points). Links represent either actual shipping lanes (i.e., channels, Intracoastal Waterways, sea lanes, rivers) or serve as representative paths in open water (where no defined shipping paths exist). Nodes may represent physical entities such as river confluence's, ports/facilities, and intermodal terminals, USACE nodes, or may be inserted for analytical purposes (i.e., to facilitate routing).

This data layer contains runways that have corresponding and reported runways ends, and the linear feature of the runway could be created based off these points. The runways in the dataset are associated with the airports dataset on NTAD, showing runways for all official and operational aerodromes. This geospatial data is derived from the FAA's National Airspace System Resource Aeronautical Data.

CIS2 - Central Index System 2

CIS2 supports DHS information by providing the following five major capabilities: 1) Enables DHS field offices, Ports of Entry (POE), and adjudications and inspection sites to promptly access accurate biographical and status information on individuals seeking legal entry to, or residence in the United States, thus ensuring proper entry and granting of benefits to eligible individuals.  CIS2 also assists the DHS in the identification of individuals who violate the terms of their stay, who enter the United States illegally, or who are otherwise not entitled to entry or benefits; 2) Provides reliable and timely information to DHS officials on the RAILS file location and status information and enables retrieval of the necessary A-Files; 3) Provides reports and extracts to the DHS and other Government agencies, including the Department of State (DOS) and Department of Justice (DOJ). CIS2 is the system of record for 8 USC Section 1367 protected data and shares this data with other DHS components and the DOS so they can flag Section 1367 records within their own datasets; 4) Enables the DHS to monitor areas of progress and problems within the Service that require attention or action; and 5) Provides security and audit trail capabilities for search and update activities in CIS2 through the Transaction Record Keeping System (TRKS).

NYPD Use of Force: Members of Service

Dataset containing information related to NYPD Members of Service involved in Force Incidents.
</p>
The Threat, Resistance, or Injury (TRI) Report is the primary means by which the NYPD records use of force incidents. All reportable instances of force – whether used by a member of the Department, or against the member – are recorded on a TRI Report. Data provided here are a result of the information captured on TRI Reports.  Each record corresponds to an NYPD member of service involved in a force incident.  The data can be used to explore the various categories of force incidents and when and in which precinct they occurred. For any given incident, there may be one or more members of service involved.  Since NYPD policy requires two-person patrols, most incidents will have at least two members. The data is used to populate the public facing Force Dashboard.  (https://app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjoiOGNhMjVhYTctMjk3Ny00MTZjLTliNDAtY2M2ZTQ5YWI3N2ViIiwidCI6IjJiOWY1N2ViLTc4ZDEtNDZmYi1iZTgzLWEyYWZkZDdjNjA0MyJ9).
