# Energy and Transportation Infrastructure

TerrAdapt:Cascadia uses two primary data sources for regional energy and transportation infrastructure. The first, [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) (OSM), is an open source global repository of infrastructure data that is updated daily by a world-wide community of volunteers collaborating to keep OSM up-to-date. The following OSM datasets are accessed by our workflow each year from [Geofabric](https://www.geofabrik.de/data/) via their [North American OSM data download portal](https://download.geofabrik.de/north-america.html):

* Roads of various types that we aggregate into the following categories: freeways, primary roads, secondary roads, residential roads, and service roads
* Railroads
* Footpaths
* Canals
* Quarries
* Campsites and campgrounds
* Dams
* Pipelines
* Electrical power substations
* Solar energy infrastructure (solar arrays)
* Wind energy infrastructure (wind turbines)

In addition, we supplement OSM roads data in British Columbia with additional roads data from the [British Columbia Cumulative Effects Framework Integrated Roads Data Set](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ce-roads-2021). We aggregate the BC integrate roads data into the following categories: freeways, primary roads, secondary roads, residential roads, service roads, and footpaths.
