Abstract	The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) collects and disseminates data on the state of mass transportation in the U.S. through the National Transit Database (NTD) program. Over 600 of the nation's transportation providers submit data to the NTD program annually. The data collected consist of selected financial and operating data that generally describe mass transportation characteristics. The NTD reporting system has evolved from the transit industry-initiated Project FARE (Uniform Financial Accounting and Reporting Elements). Both the private and public sectors have recognized the importance of and need for timely and accurate data on which to assess the continued progress of the nations mass transportation systems.
