KEY: N = data do not
exist
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 43,000 miles of Bureau of Land
Management Roads are excluded.
b 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 operated.
d 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. The
2002 data has been revised to include purchased transportation data.
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 12,612 miles as commercially significant
inland shallow-draft waterways in 2001.
f Includes trunk and gathering lines for crude-oil pipeline.
g Excludes service pipelines.
Data not adjusted to common diameter equivalent. Mileage as of the end of each year. Includes gathering, transmission, and
distribution mains. Prior to 1990 data
also include field lines. See Table 1-10 for a more detailed breakout of oil and gas pipeline mileage. Length data reported in Gas Facts prior to 1990
was taken from the American Gas Association's member survey, the Uniform
Statistical Report, supplemented with estimates for companies that did not
participate. Gas Facts length data
is now based on information reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation
on Form 7100.
