e These are estimated sums of all domestic waterways which include rivers bays channels and the inner route of the Southeast Alaskan Islands but does not include the Great Lakes or deep ocean traffic The Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center monitored 12612 miles as commercially significant inland shallow-draft waterways in 2001
a All public road and street mileage in the 50 states and the District of Columbia For years prior to 1980 some miles of nonpublic roadways are included No consistent data on private road mileage are available Beginning in 1998 approximately 43000 miles of Bureau of Land Management Roads are excludedb Data represent miles of road owned (aggregate length of road excluding yard tracks sidings and parallel lines)
c Portions of Class I freight railroads Amtrak and commuter rail networks share common trackage Amtrak data represent miles of road operatedd Transit system length is measured in directional route-miles Directional route-miles is the distance in each direction over which public transportation vehicles travel while in revenue service Directional route-miles are computed with regard to direction of service but without regard to the number of traffic lanes or rail tracks existing in the right-of-way Beginning in 2002 directional route-mileage data for the commuter and light rail modes include purchased transportation

a Carrier groups are categorized based on their annual operating revenues as major national large regional and medium regional The thresholds were last adjusted July 1 1999 and the threshold for major air carriers is currently $1 billion The other air carrier category contains all national large regional and medium regional air carriers Beginning in 2003 regional air carriers are not required to report financial data which may result in under reporting of Other carriers in this tableb Figures are for the fiscal year October through September The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration deletes motor carriers from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) when they receive an official notice of a change in status This most often occurs when a safety audit or compliance review is attempted As a result inactive carriers may be included in the MCMIS
c The printed source materials do not contain totals for the number of operators and data files from which the figures can be determined are not available prior to 1993
d There is some overlap among the operators for the pipeline modes Therefore the total number of pipeline operators is lower than the sum for the three pipeline modese In 1975 and 1980 natural gas distribution includes master meter and mobile home park natural gas distribution operators A master meter system is a pipeline system for distributing gas within but not limited to a definable area such as a mobile home park housing project or apartment complex where the operator purchases metered gas from an outside source for resale through a gas distribution pipeline system The gas distribution pipeline system supplies the ultimate consumer who either purchases the gas directly through a meter or by other means such as by rents

d Data no longer available for paved minor collectors and local public roads
A public road is any road under the jurisdiction of and maintained by a public authority (federal state county town or township local government or instrumentality thereof) and open to public travel No consistent data on private road mileage are available (although prior to 1980 some nonpublic roadway mileage are included) Most data are provided by the states to the US DOT Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Some years contain FHWA estimates for some states
c Unpaved mileage includes the following categories unimproved roadways using the natural surface and maintained to permit passability graded and drained roadways of natural earth aligned and graded to permit reasonably convenient use by motor vehicles and that have adequate drainage to prevent serious impairment of the road by normal surface waterndashsurface may be stabilized and soil gravel or stone roadways drained and graded with a surface of mixed soil gravel crushed stone slag shell etcndashsurface may be stabilized The percentage of unpaved roads that are nonsurfaced dropped from approximately 42 in the 1960s to about 37 in the first half of the 1970s to about 32 in 1980 and has held at about 22 since 1985

NOTE
Prior to 1970 aircraft counts included aircraft retained in FAA data systems until the owners requested that they be deregistered As a result thousands of aircraft that had been destroyed over the years remained in the system Since 1970 annual verification of aircraft registrations is required Failure to comply with this requirement leads to revocation of theregistration certificate and exclusion of the aircraft from the official count of the following year Listed engine configurations (eg two- three- multi-) represent all applicable combinations for each aircraft type Totals may not agree with those in other tables as revisions to prior year data are reported at the aggregate level only

a Air carrier aircraft are aircraft carrying passengers or cargo for hire under 14 CFR 121 (large aircraft-more than 30 seats) and 14 CFR 135 (small aircraft-30 seats or less) This definition is more encompassing than that in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Forecast- jet aircraft 60 seats or more carrying passengers or cargo for hire Beginning in 1990 the number of aircraft is the monthly average reported in use for the last three months of the year Prior to 1990 it was the number of aircraft reported in use during December of a given year b Columns may not add to totals due to estimation procedures and rounding Beginning in 1993 excludes commuters Prior to 1993 single engine turboprops were included in Other turboprops single and multiengine turbine rotorcraft were not shown separately gliders and lighter-than-air aircraft were combined into the Other category and experimental aircraft were included in the appropriate aircraft type For example prior to 1993 the single engine piston aircraft type included both experimental and nonexperimental aircraft Starting in 1993 that aircraft type only includes nonexperimental aircraft Due to changes in methodology beginning in 1995 estimates may not be comparable to those for 1994 and earlier years Values for 1991 through 1994 were revised to reflect changes in adjustment for nonresponse bias c Total includes 574 turbine aircraft of unspecified subtype

a These data are derived from the Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) TERM uses uses statistically determined decay curves to simulate the deterioration of the Nations transit vehicles facilities and other infrastructure components National Transit Database (NTD) data are applied to these decay curves to estimate conditions Only the condition of directly operated facilities are provided for 1995 1997 and 2000 The NTD began gathering information on facilities owned by bus systems providing services under contract in 1999 (known as purchased transportation) however TERM did not base condition estimates on this full set of facilities until 2002

a All operations other than those operating under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 Data for 1996 are estimated using new information on nonrespondents and are not comparable to earlier years Mileage in source is multiplied by 1151 to convert to nautical-miles for 1985-1997b In July 1997 the FHWA published revised vehicle-miles data for the highway modes for many years The major change reflected the reassignment of some vehicles from the passenger car category to the other 2-axle 4-tire vehicle category This category was calculated prior to roundingc US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides data separately for passenger car and motorcycle in its annual Highway Statistics series However the 1995 summary d Prior to 1985 excludes demand responsive and most rural and smaller systems funded via Sections 18 and 16(b)2 Federal Transit Act The series is not continuous between 1980 and 1985 Transit rail modes are measured in car-miles Car-miles measure individual vehicle-miles in a train A 10-car train traveling 1 mile would equal 1 train-mile and 10 car-milese Motor bus and demand responsive figures are also included in the bus figure for highwayf Amtrak began operations in 1971g Although both train-miles and car-miles are shown for rail only train-miles are included in the total A train-mile is the movement of a train which can consist of multiple vehicles (cars) the distance of 1 mile This differs from a vehicle-mile which is the movement of 1 vehicle the distance of 1 mile A 10-vehicle train traveling 1 mile would be measured as 1 train-mile and 10 vehicle-miles Caution should be used when comparing train-miles with vehicle milesh 1960ndash65 motorcycle data are included in passenger car and other 2-axle 4-tire vehicle data included in single-unit 2-axle 6-tire or more truck

Large certificated air carriers operate aircraft with seating capacity of more than 60 seats or a maximum payload capacity of more than 18000 pounds and hold Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity issued by the US Department of Transportation authorizing the performance of air transportation Data for commuter intrastate air taxi small-certificated and foreign-flag air carriers are not included
Prior to 2000 air traffic hubs are designated as geographical areas based on the percentage of total passengers enplaned in the area Under this designation a hub may have more than one airport in it (This definition of hub should not be confused with the definition used by the airlines in describing their hub-and-spoke route structures) Individual communities fall into four hub classifications as determined by each communitys percentage of total enplaned revenue passengers in all services and all operations of US certificated route carriers within the 50 states the District of Columbia and other US areas For 2000 and later hub designation is based on passenger boardings at individual airports as designated by the FAA Classifications are based on the percentage of total enplaned revenue passengers for each year according to the following one percent or more = large 025 to 09999 percent = medium 005 to 0249 percent = small less than 005 = nonhubThe 2007 data uses 2006 hub size classifications as the 2007 FAA hub classifications were not available at the time of publication

b The number of persons receiving air transportation from an air carrier for which remuneration is received by the carrier excluding persons receiving reduced rate charges such as air carrier employees infants and others (except ministers of religion elderly individuals and handicapped individuals)c The number of short tons tranported on a flight by an air carrier
Data are for all scheduled and nonscheduled service by large certificated US air carriers at all airports served within the 50 states the District of Columbia and other US areas designated by the Federal Aviation Administration Not all scheduled service is actually performed Moreover for several years total performed departures exceed total scheduled departures because nonscheduled departures are included in the totals Prior to 1993 all scheduled and some nonscheduled enplanements for certificated air carriers were included no enplanements were included for air carriers offering charter service only Prior to 1990 freight includes both freight and express shipments and mail includes priority and nonpriority US mail and foreign mail beginning in 1990 only aggregate numbers are reported

Air carrier passenger-miles are computed by summing the products of the aircraft-miles flown on each interairport segment multiplied by the number of passengers carried on that segment Highway passenger-miles from 1960 to 1994 are calculated by multiplying vehicle-miles of travel as cited by FHWA by the average number of occupants for each vehicle type Average vehicle occupancy rates are based on various sources such as the National Household Travel Survey conducted by the Federal Highway Administration and the Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census Transit passenger-miles are the cumulative sum of the distances ridden by each passenger Rail passenger-miles represent the movement of 1 passenger for 1 mile

a All operations other than those operating under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135
b In July 1997 FHWA published revised passenger-miles data for the highway modes for a number of years The major change reflected the reassignment of some vehicles from the passenger car category to the other 2-axle 4-tire vehicle category Passenger-miles for passenger car motorcycle and other 2-axle 4-tire vehicles were derived by multiplying vehicle-miles for these vehicles by average vehicle occupancy rates provided by the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (1977 1983 and 1995) and the National Household Travel Survey (2001)
g Included in passenger carh Included in other single-unit 2-axle 6-tire or more truck
All other data
c US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides data separately for passenger car and motorcycle in its annual Highway Statistics series However the 1995 summary report provides updated data for passenger car and motorcycle combined Passenger car figures in this table were computed by US Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics by subtracting the most current motorcycle figures from the aggregate passenger car and motorcycle figures d Motor bus and demand responsive figures are also included in the bus figure for highwaye Prior to 1985 excludes demand responsive and most rural and smaller systems funded via Sections 18 and 16(b)2 Federal Transit Act The series is not continuous between 1980 and 1985 Transit rail modes are measured in car-miles Car-miles measure individual vehicle-miles in a train A 10-car train traveling 1 mile would equal 1 train-mile and 10 car-miles f Amtrak began operations in 1971 Does not include contract commuter passengers

a Water data are preliminary
NOTES
b Data for 2006 is based on the top 50 freight gateways in 2006 and is not a summation of the numbers on the table
All data Trade levels reflect the mode of transportation as a shipment enters or exits at a border port Flows through individual ports are based on reported data collected from US trade documents Trade does not include low-value shipments (In general these are imports valued at less than $1250 and exports that are valued at less than $2500)
Air Data for all air gateways are reported at the port level and include a low level (generally less than 2-3 of the total value) of small user-fee airports located in the same region Air gateways not identified by airport name (eg Chicago IL and others) include major airport(s) in that geographic area in addition to small regional airports In addition due to Bureau of Census confidentiality regulations data for courier operations are included in the airport totals for JFK International Airport New Orleans Los Angeles Cleveland Chicago Miami and Anchorage
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding

NOTES
c Beginning in January 1996 new edit checks were added in the processing of the these data Because of these checks the number of mail export shipments from the United States to Mexico declined sharply between 1995 and 1996 The Census Bureau found that a number of rail shipments were misidentified as mail shipments in 1994 and 1995 although the exact proportion of these is unknown
KEY ndash = value too small to report U = data are not available
Table 1-54 Value of US Land Exports to and Imports from Canada and Mexico by Mode ($ millions)
a Other includes flyaway aircraft or aircraft moving under their own power (ie aircraft moving from the manufacturer to a customer and not carrying any freight) powerhouse (electricity) vessels moving under their own power pedestrians carrying freight and unknown and miscellaneousb Mail shipments data for several years prior to May 2004 were not compiled correctly resulting in undercounts
US Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics Transborder Surface Freight Data Internet site wwwbtsgovtransborder as of Apr 15 2008
d Foreign Trade Zones (FTZs) were added as a mode of transport for land import shipments beginning in April 1995 Although FTZs are being treated as a mode of transportation in the Transborder Surface Freight Data the actual mode for a specific shipment into or out of an FTZ is unknown because US Customs does not collect this information
Shipments that neither originate nor terminate in the United States (ie in transit in-bond shipments) are not included here although they use the US transportation system These shipments are usually part of Mexico-Canada trade and simply pass through the United States Transshipments however are included between 1994 1995 and 1996 these are shipments that entered or exited the United States by way of a Customs port on the northern or southern border but whose origin or destination was a country other than Canada or Mexico Starting in 1997 transshipments are excluded Users should note these differences before comparing figures for 1994-96 with 1997 and subsequent year data Data exclude export shipments valued at less than $2500 and import shipments valued at less than $1250Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding

k Vessel-related casualties include those involving damage to vessels such as collisions or groundings Fatalities not related to vessel casualties include deaths from falling overboard or from accidents involving onboard equipment
l 1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System Between 1998 and 2001 the US Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety data the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System During that period data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for 2002 and 2003 come from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly comparable m Data are based on information provided by the States the District of Columbia and the five US Territories to the Coast Guard Boating Accident Report Database (BARD) system Research on the level of underreporting of fatal accidents in the BARD based on discrepancies between the BARD and the Coast Guard Search and Rescue Management Information System (SARMIS) found that approximately 6 percent of recreational boating fatalities are not captured by the BARD system Adjusting the number of recreational boating fatalities included in the BARD in 2001 by 6 percent increases the total to 722
i Fatalities include those resulting from all reportable incidents not just from accidents
j Includes motor bus commuter rail heavy rail light rail demand response van pool and automated guideway Fatalities occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from operations of public transit rail modes including commuter rail Data for fatalities at light rail grade crossings are 1995 (7) 1996 (3) 1997 (3) 1998 (10) 1999 (7) 2000 (12) 2001 (1) 2002 (1) 2003 (4) 2004 (9)
Numbers may not add to the total because some fatalities are counted in more than one mode Total fatalities is derived from table 2-4 and earlier editions of this table To avoid double counting the following adjustments are made most (not all) highway-rail grade-crossing fatalities have not been added because most (not all) such fatalities involve motor vehicles and thus are already included in highway fatalities for transit all commuter rail fatalities and motor-bus trolley-bus demand-responsive and van-pool fatalities arising from accidents have been subtracted because they are counted as railroad highway or highway-rail grade-crossing fatalities The reader cannot reproduce the total fatalities in this table by simply leaving out the number of highway-rail grade-crossing fatalities in the and subtracting the above transit submodes because in so doing grade-crossing fatalities not involving motor vehicles would be left out (see table 2-35 on rail) An example of such a fatality is a bicyclist hit by a train at a grade crossing

a Carriers operating under 14 CFR 121 all scheduled and nonscheduled service Since Mar 20 1997 14 CFR 121 include aircraft with 10 or more seats that formerly operated under 14 CFR 135 This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent data In 2001 other than the persons aboard the aircrafts who were killed fatalities resulting from the September 11 terrorist acts are excludedb All scheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (commuter air carriers) Before Mar 20 1997 14 CFR 135 applied to aircraft with 30 or fewer seats Since Mar 20 1997 14 CFR 135 includes only aircraft with fewer than 10 seats This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent data
f Includes occupants of other vehicle types and other nonmotorists For 1960-70 the US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not break out fatality data to the same level of detail as in later years so fatalities for those years also include occupants of passenger cars trucks and buses
c Nonscheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (on-demand air taxis) d All operations other than those operating under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 e Large trucks are defined as trucks over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating including single-unit trucks and truck tractors Light trucks are defined as trucks of 10000 pounds gross vehicle werating or less including pickups vans truck-based station wagons and utility vehicles
g Includes Amtrak Fatalities include those resulting from train accidents train incidents and nontrain incidents Railroad fatality data for 1970 and before is not comparable with post-1970 data due change in the reporting system h Fatalities occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from freight and passenger rail operations including commuter rail Highway-rail grade crossing fatalities except train occupants are also counted under highway

The Federal Railroad Administration defines a grade crossing as a location where a public highway road street or private roadway including associated sidewalks and pathways crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade The Federal Transit Administration defines two types of grade crossings (1) At grade mixed and cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which other traffic moving in the same direction or other cross directions may pass This includes city street right-of-way (2) At grade with cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which no other traffic may pass except to cross at grade-level crossings This can include median strip rights-of-way with grade level crossings at intersecting streets
Caution must be exercised in comparing fatalities across modes because significantly different definitions are used In particular rail and transit fatalities include incident-related (as distinct from accident-related) fatalities such as fatalities from falls in transit stations or railroad employee fatalities from a fire in a workshed Equivalent fatalities for the air and highway modes (fatalities at airports not caused by moving aircraft or fatalities from accidents in automobile repair shops) are not counted toward the totals for these modes Thus fatalities not necessarily directly related to in service transportation are counted for the transit and rail modes potentially overstating the risk for these modes

Table 2-2 Injured Persons by Transportation Mode
i Injuries occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from freight and passenger rail operations including commuter rail Highway-rail grade crossing injuries except train occupants are also counted under highway
k Injuries occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from operations of public transit rail modes including commuter rail Data for injuries at light rail crossings are 1995 (179) 1996 (171) 1997 (92) 1998 (42) 1999 (148) 2000 (111) 2001 (54) 2002 (76) 2003 (68) 2004 (76)l Vessel-related injuries include those involving damage to vessels such as collisions or groundings Injuries not related to vessel casualties include those from falls overboard or from accidents involving onboard equipment
KEY N = data do not exist R = revised U = data are not available
d Nonscheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (on-demand air taxis
j Includes motor bus commuter rail heavy rail light rail demand response van pool and automated guideway Transit injuries include those resulting from all reportable incidents not just from accidents Directly Operated (DO) modes only The drop in the number of injuries in 2002 is due largely to a change in definitions by the Federal Transit Administration Only injuries requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene now qualify as reportable Previously
m 1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System Between 1998 and 2001 the US Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety data the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System During that period data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for 2002 2003 and 2004 come from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly comparable
a Injuries classified as serious See definitions of injuries in the glossary
h Includes Amtrak Figures include those injuries resulting from train accidents train incidents and nontrain incidents Injury figures also include occupational illness Railroad injury data for 1970 and before are not comparable with post-1970 data due to a change in the reporting system
c All scheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (commuter air carriers) Before March 20 1997 14 CFR 135 applied to aircraft with 30 or fewer seats Since March 20 1997 14 CFR 135 includes only aircraft with fewer than 10 seats This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent years data
b All scheduled and nonscheduled service operating under 14 CFR 121 Since March 20 1997 14 CFR 121 includes only aircraft with 10 or more seats formerly operated under 14 CFR 135 This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent years data
f Large trucks are defined as trucks over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating including single-unit trucks and truck tractors Light trucks are defined as trucks of 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating or less including pickups vans truck-based station wagons and utility vehicg Includes occupants of other unknown vehicle types and other nonmotorist
n Other than the persons aboard the aircraft who were killed fatalities resulting from the September 11 terrorist acts are exclude
Numbers may not add to total because some injuries are counted in more than one mode To avoid double counting the following adjustments have been made Most (not all) highway-rail grade crossing injuries have not been added because most (not all) such injuries involve motor vehicles and are already included in highway injuries
AirSOURCES
For transit all commuter rail injuries and motor-bus trolley-bus demand-responsive and van-pool injuries arising from accidents have been subtracted because they are counted as railroad highway or highway-rail grade crossing injuries

NOTES
The Federal Railroad Administration defines a grade crossing as a location where a public highway road street or private roadway including associated sidewalks and pathways crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade The Federal Transit Administration defines two types of grade crossings (1) At grade mixed and cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which other traffic moving in the same direction or other cross directions may pass This includes city street right-of-way (2) At grade with cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which no other traffic may pass except to cross at grade-level crossings This can include median strip rights-of-way with grade level crossings at intersecting streets
The motor vehicle injury data in this table come from the US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations General Estimates System (GES) The data from GES which began operation in 1988 are obtained from a nationally representative probability sample selected from all police-reported crashes The GES sample includes only crashes where a police accident report was completed and the crash resulted in property damage injury or death The resulting figures do not take into account crashes that were not reported to the police or did not result in property damage
The reader cannot reproduce the total injuries count in this table by simply leaving out the number of highway-rail grade crossing injuries in the sum and subtracting the above transit submodes because in so doing grade-crossing injuries not involving motor vehicles would be left out (see table 2-35 on rail) An example of such an injury is a bicyclist injured by a train at a grade crossing

Table 2-3 Transportation Accidents by Mode
The motor vehicle crash data in this table come from the US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations General Estimates System (GES) which began operation in 1988 GES data are obtained from a nationally representative probability sample selected from all police-reported crashes The GES sample includes only crashes where a police accident report was completed and the crash resulted in property damage injury or death The resulting figures do not take into account crashes that were not reported to the police or did not result in property damage
j Accident figures include collisions with vehicles objects and people derailments vehicles going off the road Accident figures do not include fires and personal casualties The drop in the number of accidents in 2002 is due largely to a change in definitions by the Federal Transit Administration particularly the definition of injuries Only injuries requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene now qualify as reportable Previously any injury was reportable Directly Operated (DO) modes only
m 1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System Between 1998 and 2001 the US Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety data the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System During that period data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for 2002 and 2003 come from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly comparable
k Accidents occurring at highway-rail grade crossings resulting from operations of public transit rail modes including commuter rail Data for light rail crossings are 1995 (98) 1996 (1997 (66) 1998 (66) 1999 (103) 2000 (106) 2001 (54) 2002 (112) 2003 (66) 2004 (107)l Accidents occurring at highway-rail grade crossings resulting from operations of public transit rail modes excluding commuter rail
NOTES
The Federal Railroad Administration defines a grade crossing as a location where a public highway road street or private roadway including associated sidewalks and pathways crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade The Federal Transit Administration defines two types of grade crossings (1) At grade mixed and cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which other traffic moving in the same direction or other cross directions may pass This includes city street right-of-way (2) At grade with cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which no other traffic may pass except to cross at grade-level crossings This can include median strip rights-of-way with grade level crossings at intersecting streets
h Accidents and incidents occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from freight and passenger rail operations including commuter rail Data not comparable after 1970 due to change in reporting system Most highway-rail grade crossing accidents are also counted under highwayi Train accidents only
f Large trucks are defined as trucks over 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating including single-unit trucks and truck tractors Light trucks are defined as trucks of 10000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating or less including pickups vans truck-based station wagons and utility vehiclesg Includes Amtrak Accidents and incidents resulting from freight and passenger rail operations including commuter rail Railroad accident data for 1970 and before are not comparawith post-1970 data due to a change in the reporting system
KEY N = data do not exist R = revised U = data are not available
e The US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration uses the term crash instead of accident in its highway safety data Highway crashes often involve more than one motor vehicle hence total highway crashes is smaller than the sum of the components Estimates of highway crashes are rounded to the nearest thousand in the source document
a Carriers operating under 14 CFR 121 all scheduled and nonscheduled service Since Mar 20 1997 14 CFR 121 includes only aircraft with 10 or more seats formerly operated under 14 CFR 135 This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent years datab All scheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 Since Mar 20 1997 14 CFR 121 includes only aircraft with 10 or more seats formerly operated under 14 CFR 135 This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent years data c Nonscheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135d All operations other than those operating under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135

KEY AI = Alcohol involvement Fatal = fatalities R = revised
NOTESAlcohol involvement pertains to any driver pedestrian or pedalcyclist involved in the accident Alcohol results are determined from positive blood alcohol concentration tests and police-reported alcohol involvement and are adjusted by the US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
In 2001 NHTSA adopted a new method to estimate missing blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test result data This new method multiple imputation is being used by NHTSAs National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) to improve the scope of alcohol involvement statistics by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) As a result of the methodology change alcohol involvement fatalities have undergone a complete revision
The sum of individual categories may not add to totals because NCSA generates a separate estimate for each category of fatalities including total fatalities

Table 2-25 Fatalities by Highest Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in Highway Crashes
In 2001 the NHTSA adopted a new method to estimate missing blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test result data This new method multiple imputation is being used by NHTSAs National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) to improve the scope of alcohol involvement statistics by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System As a result of the methodology change BAC 008 breakouts which coincide with many state laws can now be determined Thus NHTSAs general reporting categories have been modified to reflect this and are now BAC 000 BAC 001-007 and BAC 008+SOURCE1985-2007 US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Traffic Safety Facts 2007 Table 13 available at httpwww-nrdnhtsadotgov as of Mar 23 2009

NOTES
BAC values have been assigned by US Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) when alcohol test results are unknown Alcohol-related crashes pertain to the BAC of the driver and nonoccupants struck by motor vehicles For some years numbers may not addto totals due to rounding

b In 2002 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revised its method for estimating lives saved by safety beltsThe previous method included survey data from states with and without belt use laws The current method relies on police-reportedrestraint use information for each individual occupant fatality Also the estimate now includes lives saved in passenger vehicles at all seating positions where previously it had been front outboard positions only
Table 2-30 Estimated Number of Lives Saved by Occupant Protection Motorcycle Helmets and Drinking Age Law
KEY R = revised
a Represents all adults and children age 5 and older Data are for passenger vehicles which include cars light trucks vans pickups and utility vehicles Excludes medium and heavy trucks
c In 2002 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revised the method for calculating lives saved by air bags

d Rates are based on total incidents including accidents and were calculated by dividing the number of fatalities injuries and incidents in this table by the number of vehicle-miles
Analysts for the FTA believe the change in reporting requirements in 2002 may have resulted in unreliable data in that yearparticularly for injuries and accidents The reliability of reporting is believed to be much better in 2003 and is expected to improve in the future

e In 2002 the drop in the number of accidents and injuries is due largely to a change in definitions by the Federal Transit Administration particularly the definition of injuries Only injuries requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene now qualify as reportable Previously any injury was reportable Commuter rail data are now derived from the Federal Railroad Administrations Rail Accident Incident Reporting System (RAIRS)

a The figures for cable car inclined plane jitney and ferry boat are lumped together and appear in this footnote Note that the 2003 data include 11 fatalities and 70 injuries that resulted from the Oct 16 2003 Staten Island Ferry incident
b Incidents include accidents (collisions with vehicles objects people (except suicides) derailmentsvehicles going off road) plus personal casualties fires and property damage associated with transit agency revenue vehicles and all transit facilitiesc Motor bus also includes trolley busd The number of unlinked passenger trips is equivalent to the number of passengers who board public transit vehicles Passengers are counted each time they board a vehicle regardless of how many vehicles are necessary for a passenger to get to their destination

e Rates are based on total incidents including accidents and were calculated by dividing the number of fatalities injuries and incidents in this table by the number of unlinked passenger tripsf In 2002 the drop in the number of incidents and injuries is due largely to a change in definitions by the Federal Transit Administration particularly the definition of injuries Only injuries requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene now qualify as reportable Previously any injury was reportable Commuter rail data are now derived from the Federal Railroad Administrations Rail Accident Incident Reporting System (RAIRS)
Data are provided only for transit systems that furnished safety data for inclusion in the US Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Transit Safety and Security Statistics and Analysis annual reports Data covers only directly operated urban transit systems Vehicle-miles for all transit systems including nonurban and purchased can be found in the vehicle-miles table in chapter 1Prior to the 2000 edition Transit Safety and Security Statistics and Analysis Report was entitled Safety Management Information Statistics (SAMIS) annual report

Light rail and heavy rail grade crossings are regulated by the Federal Transit Administration The Federal Transit Adminstration defines two types of grade crossings (1) At grade mixed and cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which other traffic moving in the same direction or other cross directions may pass This includes city street right-of-way (2) At grade with cross traffic crossings meaning railway right-of-way over which no other traffic may pass except to cross at grade-level crossings This can include median strip rights-of-way with grade level crossings at intersecting streets
Commuter rail grade crossings are regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration The Federal Railroad Administration defines a grade crossing as a location where a public highway road street or private roadway including associated sidewalks and pathways crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade

Table 2-41 Waterborne Transportation Safety and Property Damage Data Related to Vessel Casualties
For 1992-97 data are obtained from the Marine Safety Management Information System Between 1998 and 2001 the US Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety data the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System During this period data are derived by combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for 2002 and after are from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for prior 1992 come from other sources and may not be directly comparable
US Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard Data Administration Division (G-MRI-1) personal communication as of November 2008
c More than one vessel may be involved in a marine accident Data from 1992 to 2003 has been revised to include vessels involved in pollution incidents which the United States Coast Guard considers to be a vessel casualty Data includes all vessel mishaps involving marine pollution discharges
All deaths and injuries cited result from vessel casualties such as groundings collisions fires or explosions The data are for all commercial vessels under US jurisdiction including US flag vessels anywhere in the world and foreign flag vessels within the jurisdiction of the United States (within 12 miles or having an interaction with a US entity such as a platform within 200 miles or a collision with a US ship) Commercial fishing vessels are included

a Fatalities include people who were declared missingb Figures represent the number of vessels involved in nonvessel casualties These vessels were not part of the accident but the accident may have occurred on the vessel (eg crewmembers swept overboard by a wave)
NOTES
Figures reflect the number of deaths and injuries to people on commercial vessels not resulting from a casualty to the vessel These injuries and fatalities result from such incidents as slips falls or electrocutions Deaths and injuries from disease homocides suicides fights and diving accidents have been excluded The data reflect deaths and injuries to people on both US and foreign flag vessels within the jurisdiction of the United States (within 12 miles of US coast) and on US flag vessels anywhere in the world
1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System Between 1998 and 2001 the US Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to track safety data the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System During that period data come from combining entries in the Marine Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for 2002 to 2004 come from the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly comparable There is a significant difference in the figures provided in 2005 from previous years due to changes in the way marine safety related personnel casualties are now measured Also many of the figures for incident investigations in the years 2002 and later are derived from predecisional material and these numbers are subject to change

The formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period Therefore the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive
Table 3-4b Contributions to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Selected Industries (Chained 2000 $ billions)
Percent of GDP
Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series divided by 100

Table 3-14 Average Cost of Owning and Operating an Automobilea (Assuming 15000 Vehicle-Miles per Year)
American Automobile Association Your Driving Costs (Heathrow FL Annual issues) as of June 2008
a All figures reflect the average cost of operating a vehicle 15000 miles per year in stop and go conditionsb Prior to 2004 data include oil costc Beginning in 2004 data include oil costd Fixed costs (ownership costs) include insurance license registration taxes depreciation and finance charges
NOTES Methodological changes in 1985 and 2004 make it difficult to compare costs before and after those yearsIn 2004 the American Automobile Association adopted a new method for calculating vehicle operating costs that the Association believes more closely represents the real-world personal use of a vehicle over a five-year and 75000-mile ownership period Prior to 1985 the cost figures are for a mid-sized current model American car equipped with a variety of standard and optional accessories After 1985 the cost figures represent a composite of three current model American cars The 2004 fuel costs are based on average late-2003 US prices from AAAs Fuel Gauge Report wwwfuelgaugereportcom Insurance figures are based on a full-coverage policy for a married 47-year-old male with a good driving record living in a small city and commuting three to ten miles daily to work The policy includes $100000$300000 level coverage with a $500 deductible for collision coverage and a $100 deductible for comprehensive coverage Depreciation costs are based on the difference between new-vehicle purchase price and its estimated trade-in-value at the end of five years American Automobile Association analysis covers vehicles equipped with standard and optional accessories including automatic transmission air conditioning power steering power disc brakes AMFM stereo driver- and passenger-side air bags anti-lock brakes cruise control tilt steering wheel tinted glass emissions equipment and rear-window defogger

Transportation Infrastructure construction and maintenance occupations
A broad definition of transportation and transportation-related occupations is used in this table based on Sen B and M Rossetti A Complete Count of the US Transportation Workforce Transportation Research Record 1719 2000 pp 259-266 Some occupational categories may include workers not engaged in transportation or transportation-related activities For example the category first-line supervisorsmanagers (53-1021 and 53-1031) may include workers in material moving occupations along with transportation occupations Moreover some workers engaged in transportation and transportation-related activities may be excluded For example baggage porters and bellhops is not included in this table because it is believed that a large share of workers in this category work in hotels or similar establishments

KEY SOC = Standard Occupational Classification
Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) uses a mail survey to measure employment levels and wage rates for all full- and part-time wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments The survey does not include self-employed owners and partners in unincorporated firms household workers or unpaid family workers In 1999 OES began using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system to organize occupational data Consequently estimates from 1999 and subsequent years are not directly comparable to previous occupational estimates The SOC is being adopted by all federal agencies and consists of 821 detailed occupations grouped into 449 board occupations 96 minor groups and 23 major groups

a Total fuel consumption is the sum of alternative fuels gasoline and diesel Oxygenate consumption is included in gasoline consumption
Table 4-10 Estimated Consumption of Alternative and Replacement Fuels for Highway Vehicles (Thousand gasoline-equivalent gallons)
US Department of Energy Energy Information Administration Alternatives to Traditional Transportation Fuels 2006 available at httpwwweiadoegovcneafalternatepageatftablesafvtransfuel_IIhtml table C-1 as of December 2008
b The remaining portion of 85 methanol 85 ethanol and 95 ethanol fuels is gasoline Consumption data include the gasoline portion of the fuelc Excludes gasoline-electric hybridsd Includes a very small amount of other ethers primarily tertiary-amyl-methyl-ether and ethyl-tertiary-butyl-ether e Gasoline consumption includes ethanol in gasohol and methyl-tertiary-butyl-etherf Diesel includes biodiesel
NOTES
Beginning with 2003 data the methodology used to develop the estimates of alternative fueled vehicles (AFVs) in use and alternate transportation fuel consumption were changed The data reflect this new methodology
