- Bikeshare Scooter Systems;
- Intermodal Freight Facilities Rail TOFC/COFC;
- Intermodal Freight Facilities Marine Roll-on/Roll-off;
- National Bridge Inventory Element 2022 data;
- National Tunnel Inventory 2022 data;
- National Tunnel Inventory Element 2022 data;
- Navigable Waterway Network Lines;
- Navigable Waterway Network Nodes;
- Docks;
- Principal Ports;
- Waterway Locks;
- National Dam Inventory data;
- Congressional Districts – Updated 117th Congressional Members updated weekly;
- 2020 Noise data;

The map below displays the locations of the intermodal freight Marine Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) and Rail trailer-on-flatcar/container-on-flatcar (TOFC/COFC) facilities along the I-95 corridor between New York City, NY and Wilmington, Delaware. The Ro-Ro facilities show locations of ports where roll-on/roll-off vehicles and cargo can transfer from the ports to rail cars and trucks. Whereas the TOFC/COFC facilities show locations where containers can transfer from rail to ports and trucks and vice-a-versa. These facilities are essential for the efficient movement of goods through the nation’s transportation infrastructure and these layers can be used for a myriad of purposes such as geographic analysis and modeling.
