GTFS Data with StreetMap Premium

[robertkleinman]

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere:

I am trying to combine GTFS data with the street network from StreetMap Premium, implementing the sample code found here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/conversion/connect-network-dataset-transit-sources-... (with appropriate changes for the local directories and making the Street Network as the North America Streets network from StreetMap Premium).

The error that I encounter is this: arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: ERROR 004411: Export of the vector data is denied. ERROR 000260: Failed to copy. This is specific to this line: arcpy.management.Copy(streets_orig, streets).

It looks like it is not possible to copy or project the StreetMap street network. Is there a workaround to enable use of StreetMap Premium street networks with GTFS data?

Thank you!

My guess is you have the non-editable, licensed version of Streetmap Premium, so you aren't allowed to copy the data.  You should check with your Esri representative about licensing the editable version: Streetmap Premium Custom Roads.  I'm not sure how the cost compares to the non-editable version of the product, but your Esri rep will know.
