Once you have downloaded the Bus Stops and Bus Routes data from Houston METRO and the SuperNeighborhoods and Freeways data from COHGIS, you should be able to find the data files in your Downloads folder. You will see that all the files are zipped, meaning they contain compressed files of data within them (you can tell a file is zipped when the file type column reads “Compressed (zipped) Folder”). You will need to unzip the folders to be able to see the data inside them. To do that:
1. In your Downloads folder, click in the gray space next to your file path at the top. This should highlight your file path. Right click and copy your file path.
2. Click on one of the data files in your Downloads folder. Once it’s highlighted, right click on the file and select Extract All…
3. For the file destination, right click and paste the file path that you copied in the first step.
4. Click on the Extract button.
5. Repeat this process for however many zipped data files you have.
Your data should now be in a file folder in its decompressed format and ready to be brought into ArcMap.
