| Abstract | National Transportation Statistics is a compendium of selected national transportation and transportation-related statistics from a wide variety of government and private sources. The data illustrate transportation activity for the major transportation modes - air, automobile, bus, truck, transit, rail, water, and pipeline. The NTS is divided into four chapters and several appendices. Chapter 1 of this document presents statistics about the extent of the physical network; travel and goods movement; vehicle, aircraft, and vessel inventories, as well as the condition and performance of the system. Chapter 2 focuses on the relationship between transportation and the economy. Data are provided on consumer and government expenditures on transportation and employment in and productivity of transportation industries. Chapter 3 details transportation's safety record, presenting data on fatalities, injuries, and accidents for each mode and for hazardous materials. Chapter 4 presents transportation energy use and related emissions data. Oil spill incidents are also reported in this section. Finally, Appendix A provides modal profiles. Summary statistics, in five year increments, are provided for the years 1960-1994 and 1995, where available. In some instances, data extend back to 1955 and are forecast through 2006. |
