National Transportation Library Law and Legal Definition
The National Transportation Library (NTL) is a component of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). The NTL aims to maintain and facilitate access to statistical information needed for transportation decision making at the federal, state, and local level. It was established in 1998 pursuant to the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). In 2008, a new NTL was created through a merger with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) Library.
Additionally, the NTL coordinates with public and private transportation libraries and information providers to improve information sharing among the transportation community. The NTL serves the DOT
The following is an example of a federal statute on the NTL:
