The U.S. DOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer is an interactive web application that uses 2020 Census Tracts and data, to explore the cumulative burden communities experience, as a result of underinvestment in transportation, in the following five components: Transportation Insecurity, Climate and Disaster Risk Burden, Environmental Burden, Health Vulnerability, and Social Vulnerability.

The Screening Tool for Equity Analysis of Projects (STEAP) is a census sampling tool that allows rapid screening of potential project locations anywhere in the United States to support Title VI, environmental justice, and other socioeconomic data analyses.

This dataset provides measures how well the critical benefits of urban tree canopy are reaching those who need them most in urbanized areas.

A project of Public Environmental Data Partners that is archiving and providing federal datasets related to environmental and social vulnerability screening. Datasets distributed and screening tools made available through this site include EJ Screen and CDC SVI for example.

A platform where anybody can learn to use Open Street Map and contribute to mapping undermapped areas of the world. This work is critical for disaster preparation and resiliency in developing countries, so that aid workers and community members have access to accurate maps when disasters strike.

Referencing System is a global, non-proprietary linear referencing system for describing streets maintained by SharedStreets. Additional Information: GitHub

The Curb Data Specification provides data specifications for curb regulations alongside a connected event and metrics API intended to help cities manage their curb zone programs and surrounding areas, and measure the utilization and impact.

A data format that models flexible public transportation services (microtransit/paratransit) as an extension to GTFS.

A data specification designed to represent the full cross-section of the right-of-way, integrating pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway elements into a unified dataset.

A data specification for routable pedestrian networks and describing and sharing pedestrian network and pedestrian network-adjacent data.

The General Bikeshare Feed Specification is a standardized data feed for shared mobility system availability.

The Mobility Data Specification is a data standard to enable communication between mobility companies and local governments.

The Managed and Tolled Lanes Feed Specification is intended to be used by the managed lanes and toll industry for the standardization and sharing of dynamic toll rates, and any managed lane purpose including but not limited to, ramp metering, bus only lanes, express lanes, especially if the resources are being priced dynamically.

The General Modeling Network Specification defines a common human and machine readable format for sharing routable road network files.

A data specification for active transportation infrastructure that is supported by the National Collaboration on Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Accessibility Infrastructure Data (NC-BPAID).

Helps explore GTFS data and their network characteristics.

A platform for building statistical models of cities and regions. These models help forecast long-range patterns in real estate development, demographics, and related outcomes, under various policy scenarios. Information: License: BSD License: Provider: UrbanSim Inc. (UDST).

Geospatial & temporal neighborhood analysis using US Census Data.

Python for street networks. Retrieve, model, analyze, and visualize street networks and other spatial data from OpenStreetMap.

This is a package of classes and functions to streamline the representation and analysis of urban networks. This library includes a Python implementation of the Urban Network Analysis Tools.

Provides a set of tools to scrape bike sharing data from different websites and APIs, thus providing a coherent and generalized set of classes and methods to access this sort of information.

A free and open-source Python package that enables users to analyze and visualize geospatial data with minimal coding in a Jupyter environment. Leafmap's interactive GUI allows no code layer management and analysis including a powerful analytical backend (i.e., WhiteboxTools). Additional Information: leafmap.org, JOSS Article, Medium Article.

A small set of Python functions to draw pretty maps from OpenStreetMap data.

A library that provides a Python interface to HERE APIs.

A Python package that crawls the traffic flow data of your favorite routes, cities by using the API provided by HERE.

A Python package for interactive mapping with Google Earth Engine, ipyleaflet, and ipywidgets.

The urbansprawl project provides an open source framework for assessing urban sprawl using open data. It uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to calculate its sprawling indices, divided in Accessibility, Land use mix, and Dispersion.

Geographic information systems use GeoTIFF and other formats to organize and store gridded raster datasets such as satellite imagery and terrain models.

An open source library for simplifying the structure of street networks.
