Overview specification

The overview specification defines the broader 511 data-exchange context: encoding, language, authentication, throttling, discovery, jurisdictions, and other shared protocol guidance.

Data agreement

The data agreement defines the license, attribution expectations, branding limits, disclaimers, indemnification, and termination rules for anyone using 511-provided data.

Pathways coverage

The pathways document is a coverage list. It identifies which stations and hubs are represented in pathways data.
