ntdr: Retrieve data from the National Transit Database

R-CMD-check CRAN status

The ntdr package provides a convenient interface to retrieve monthly data from the National Transit Database (NTD). Without this package, getting NTD data involves going to the NTD website and downloading and processing a complex Excel workbook.

The NTD data returned by this package has many quirks and subtleties. Please use it with care and report any issues.

To learn more about the package, visit the package website: https://vgxhc.github.io/ntdr/.

Installation

# The latest stable version can be installed from CRAN:
install.packages("ntdr")


# Alternatively, install the latest development version from GitHub:
remotes::install_github("vgXhc/ntdr")

Example

Basic usage:

library(ntdr)

options(ntdr.cache = TRUE)

ntd_madison <- get_ntd(
  data_type = "adjusted",
  ntd_variable = "UPT",
  agency = "City of Madison",
  modes = "MB"
)

head(ntd_madison)
