- Units
- stop records
- Population
- Current imported stop points contained by one sourced City of Ottawa ward geometry.
- Measurement window
- Current ward-boundary and schedule snapshots.
- Coverage
- Stops with usable coordinates and a resolvable current ward geometry.
- Publication eligibility
- A stop is counted in the containing ward. Missing geometry or an uncomputable spatial relationship remains unavailable.
- Scope
- One current City of Ottawa ward boundary and the current imported transit schedule.
- What this number can support
- Descriptive inventory, not service quantity, access, population-normalized provision, or a ward score.

Exclusions
- The count is not population-normalized and is not a ranking, service-quality score, or accessibility-chain claim.
- A missing geometry or uncomputable input remains null; it is not converted to zero.
Uncertainty and interpretation
- This is a current imported-data count. It can change after a source import and does not estimate unrecorded assets.
