LATA Locator


Local Access Transport Areas (LATA) determine where a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) can carry traffic and where an Interexchange Carrier (IXC) is needed to carry traffic between LATAs. There may be several LATAs within a state and a few LATAs cross state boundaries.

To lookup specific LATA information, view the Acrobat files. Each shows a different view of the LATA information.

Click on the different regions of the map below to see enlarged versions of the LATAs in those areas.
