The nonorthogonal orbitals technique in a multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock approach is used to calculate oscillator strengths and transition probabilities of N I lines. The relativistic effects are allowed by means of Breit-Pauli operators. The length and velocity forms of oscillator strengths show good agreement for most transitions. The B-spline R-matrix with pseudostates approach has been used to calculate electron excitation collision strengths and rates. The nonorthogonal orbitals are used for an accurate description of both target wave functions and the R-matrix basis functions. The 24 spectroscopic bound and autoionizing states together with 15 pseudostates are included in the close-coupling expansion. The collision strengths for transitions between fine-structure levels are calculated by transforming the LS-coupled K-matrices to K-matrices in an intermediate coupling scheme. Thermally averaged collision strengths have been determined by integrating collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron energies over a temperature range suitable for the modeling of astrophysical plasmas. The oscillator strengths and thermally averaged collision strengths are presented for transitions between the fine-structure levels of the 2s22p3 4So, 2Do, 2Po, 2s2p4 4P, 2s22p23s 4P, and 2P terms and from these levels to the levels of the 2s22p23p 2So, 4Do, 4Po, 4So, 2Do, 2Po, 2s22p23s 2D, 2s22p24s 4P, 2P, 2s22p23d 2P, 4F, 2F, 4P, 4D, and 2D terms. Thermally averaged collision strengths are tabulated over a temperature range from 500 to 50,000 K.
