The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) has developed a Data Converter (EXE-528KB) for use with the National Transportation Atlas Data (NTAD) and North American Transportation Atlas Data (NORTAD). The Data Converter run Windows 95/NT. The Data Converter reads NTAD and NORTAD data files and converts it for use into several common Geographic Information Systems (GIS) formats: ArcView, ARC/INFO generate, Caliper (TransCAD/GISPlus/Maptitude), Intergraph, LandView and MapInfo. The Data Converter only converts the base NTAD files; the attribute files must be linked separately from the GIS. Refer to the metadata for each database to determine the key field that links the attributes.
