TABLE C-5 Gross Government Investments in Transportation Infrastructure and Rolling Stock: 1993-2003

Government investment in transportation infrastructure consists of the purchase or construction value of transportation facilities and structures. Investment in rolling stock covers government outlays for motor vehicles only, because data for other rolling stock (e.g., aircraft, vessels, and boats) are not available.

NOTES: Investment data here are in terms of calendar years unlike the other data in this section which are in terms of fiscal years. Federal, state, and local data are combined. Data include all modes except pipeline; state and local rail infrastructure investment data were only available from 1993-2000 when this report was prepared. These transportation investment data are not comparable to those in the earlier editions of this report because of changes in methodology and data sources. Data may not add to total because of independent rounding.
