What is a NAP?

A National Access Point (NAP) is a node in which ITS-related data are concentrated and published in the form of datasets.

NAPs are also set up to facilitate access, easy exchange and reuse of transport related data in Europe, in order to help support the provision of EU-wide interoperable travel and traffic services to end users.
