This document describes the files that are contained on the Southeast Florida Regional Travel Characteristics Study (SEFRTCS) supplemental CD-ROM that has been made available to the public.

The files are categorized in two main folders:

A: DATA

B: REPORTS

The files were duplicated in several different formats for ease of use. Database files were made to be read by either SPSS Version 8.0 for Windows (files with the “.sav” extension) or any dBASE readable software (files with the “.dbf” extension). Document files were made to be read by either Microsoft Word 2000 (files with the “.doc” extension) or Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.0 (files with the “.pdf” extension). Polygon files (also known as shape files) can be read with either ArcView Version 3.2 (files with the “.shp” extension) or Maptitude Version 4.12 (files with the “.dbd” or “.cdf” extension).
