2016 National Census of Ferry Operators [supporting datasets]

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) conducted the National Census of Ferry Operators (NCFO) from April through November 2016, collecting the operational characteristics of the 2015 calendar year ferry operations. The supporting zip file contains the survey datasets, a README.txt with a data dictionary, a json metadata file in Project Open Data format, and a text file data management plan for 2016 Highlights of Ferry Operations in the United States, https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/35537. The data files are in comma-separated value (.csv) format. The compressed zip file is 1.83 MB. These files can be unzipped using any zip decompression software. The .csv files can be read with any basic text editor. The README.txt file is a plain-text file and can be opened with any basic text editor. The metadata file is in .json format and can be opened with any basic text editor, but is better viewed in a metadata editor or more advance text editor, such as Notepad++. PDF files can be opened by web browsers or with PDF readers.
