[Talk-us] Transportation for the Nation Strategic Plan discusses OSM

[Josh Doe]

The goal of Transportation for the Nation is:
"Commence the development of comprehensive, publicly available,
nationwide transportation data sets. Ultimately, Transportation for
the Nation (TFTN) will encompass data sets covering multiple modes of
transportation, however, the initial focus will be on producing a road
centerline data set that includes all types of roads, both public and
private. The initial TFTN data set will include consistent, current,
high quality road centerline data for the entire country."

This week they released their strategic plan, which includes
discussion of OpenStreetMap. I would encourage you all to take a look.

Additional information on TFTN is available on this website:

They even list OSM as a participant, though I can't seem to find any
mention of TFTN on the lists or wiki, other than the article I
created:
