# Energy and Transportation Infrastructure

The WSRRI spatial priorities were derived, in part, using TerrAdapt's human footprint model, which uses [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) (OSM) data on regional energy and transportation infrastructure. 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)
