Data Dictionary
| Field Name | Name | Type | Description | Fixed Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| agency_id | Agency ID | VARCHAR(20) | Identifies a transit brand which is often synonymous with a transit agency. Note that in some cases, such as when a single agency operates multiple separate services, agencies and brands are distinct. This document uses the term "agency" in place of "brand". A dataset may contain data from multiple agencies. | |

| block_id | Block ID | VARCHAR(10) | Identifies the block to which the trip belongs. A block consists of a single trip, or many sequential trips made using the same vehicle, defined by shared service days and block_id.
