BETA - Intermodal Freight Facilities Liquid Bulk

The BETA release of the Intermodal Freight Facilities - Liquid Bulk dataset was compiled on November 28, 2023 and was completed on January 19, 2024 from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This dataset maps polygons with attributes for port facilities that handle the liquid bulk commodity. This includes liquid materials that are transferred in bulk as opposed to containerized transport. Liquid bulk is most commonly transferred by three (3) modes of transportation: Truck, Rail or Barge. An intermodal facility is defined as a location where two (2) or more modes of transportation are serviced. Locations included in this dataset represent facilities where bulk liquids do not change state (e.g., refinement, liquefaction, manufacturing, fueling, etc.). Data was sourced from the public domain from March 2023 to November 2023. Prioritization of data collection was put towards collecting data for facility locations serviced by ship or barge. Excluded are Intermodal facilities which include pipelines as that is covered in the NTAD Intermodal Freight Facilities Pipeline Terminals. Note that terminal locations are prone to change ownership. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529991
