				<gco:CharacterString>The Maritime Administration (MARAD) Gateway Offices dataset is as of October 07, 2025 from the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This dataset contains location information for all 10 of MARAD's regional Gateway offices. Also included in this dataset is contact information for each of the offices. All gateway regions contain one office except the Inland Gateway Region which has two. See https://www.maritime.dot.gov/about-us/gateway-offices/gateway-offices for more information. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529307</gco:CharacterString>
			</gmd:abstract>
			<gmd:purpose>
				<gco:CharacterString>MARAD provides outreach activities at gateway ports. Gateway offices work with stakeholders on various projects, help to identify sources of funding, and work on environmental and community challenges in the ports and their inter-modal connections.</gco:CharacterString>

								<gco:CharacterString>This layer was created to replicate the US Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) Â gateway officesâ static map on MARADâs website (https://www.maritime.dot.gov/about-us/gateway-offices/gateway-offices), using ESRIâs ArcGIS pro software. The layer was created by going through the description in each gateway office webpage to gather the addresses of a gateway office. If discoverable, the address location for the office as listed on each of their websites were geocoded by using the Geocoding Addresses tool and ArcGIS World Geocoding Service within the Geocoding toolbox in ESRIâs ArcGIS pro. The updated South Atlantic Gateway office address was gathered by MARAD subject matter experts instead of their website and similar geocoding techniques were used to display the point on the map. The attribute table was filled out using information from the gateway officesâ websites. MARAD subject matter experts validated and updated these office locations to match the present situation.</gco:CharacterString>
