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. Highway does not include investment in public parking lots. 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.
