INTRODUCTION
This document is a guide for the regional users with regards to the bus stop attributes that may be
recorded or updated using the Bus Stop Editor Web/Mobile application. In addition, it provides some
database information about the attributes.
Order of Observation and Organization of the Document. Within the document, the attributes are
ordered more or less in the order in which the surveyor might record them: 1. Sign, pole, and infocase;
2. Shelter and shelter amenities; 3. Benches and street lights; 4. Pedestrian pad and sidewalk; 5. Parking
controls; and 6. Intersection conditions (curb ramps, crosswalks, and traffic controls). The order assumes
that the surveyor begins by checking the Regional ID on the bus stop sign to verify that he or she is at
the correct stop, and proceeds to the sign and pole, then the other assets and amenities at the stop,
then the parking and sidewalk conditions around the stop, and lastly the intersection nearest the stop.
Attribute Descriptions. The following information is provided about each data item:
Field Survey Information

1. Item Name: The unabbreviated name of the data item.
2. Definition: The definition of the data item.
3. Source of Data: Where or how the data item is obtained. In most cases the data comes from a
field survey of the stop. The original data collection was done by the firm of KFH in 2004-2007
for all jurisdictions except Fairfax County and Montgomery County, which were surveyed in
2012. Resurvey is expected to begin in 2015.
4. Domain/Constraints: Gives the valid values, or limits on valid values, for the data item. Also
gives a list of codes/abbreviations and what they mean.
5. Business rules: Gives conventions and logical rules that govern when certain values should be
recorded, and when certain combinations of values are required or prohibited.
6. Observation Method: Indicates whether the information is gathered by visual observation,
measurement (by tape measure, measuring wheel, or inclinometer), or photography (for the
photos).
7. Used for: Indicates whether the data item is needed for public information, accessibility
analysis, bus stop maintenance, data administration, or some combination of the these.
Database Information
In addition, the following database information is given, to assist in referring to technical
documentation of the database:
1. Table: The unabbreviated name of the table where the item is found (e.g. bus stop inf)
2. Table name: The database short name of the table (e.g., BSTP_INF)
3. Item Code: The database short name of the data item (e.g., BSTP_BNH_CNT)
4. Data Type: The data type and length of the item (e.g., CHAR(3), NUMBER (1), etc.)
5. Constrained by: The name of any database table that constraints the attribute.

2. The Bus Stop Editor application automatically links each photo to the bus stop Regional ID. If for any
reason photos are taken with digital camera that is not running the Bus Stop Editor application,
then:
a. Before taking photos of the stop, write down the Regional ID of the stop on a sheet of paper
and take a picture of the Regional ID. Proceed with taking the three pictures of the bus stop.
b. After taking the three pictures of the bus stop, take another picture of the Regional ID. This
will ensure accurate renaming of the photos at the end of the day.
