Thursday,
August 30, 2007 - Trade
using surface transportation between the
United States and its North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) partners Canada and Mexico was 3.9 percent higher in June 2007 than in June
2006, reaching $69.5 billion, according to the Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (Table 1).
BTS, a part
of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), reported that
the value of U.S. surface transportation trade with Canada and Mexico rose 0.1 percent
in June from May (Table 2). Month-to-month changes can be affected by
seasonal variations and other factors.
Surface
transportation consists largely of freight movements by truck, rail and
pipeline. About 90 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and Mexico moves on land.
The
value of U.S. surface
transportation trade with Canada and Mexico in June
was up 50.6 percent compared to June 2002, and up 96.1 percent compared to June
1997, a period of 10 years (Table 3). Imports in June were up 109.2 percent
compared to June 1997, while exports were up 81.2 percent.
U.S. Surface Transportation Trade with Canada
U.S.-Canada surface transportation trade
totaled $45.0 billion in June, up 5.1 percent compared to June 2006 (Table 4). The value of imports carried by truck was 3.4
percent lower in June 2007 than June 2006, while the value of exports carried
by truck was 1.2 percent higher.
Michigan
led all states in surface trade with Canada in June with $6.8 billion (Table 5).
U.S. Surface Transportation Trade with Mexico
U.S. - Mexico surface
transportation trade totaled $24.5 billion in June, up 1.9 percent compared to June
2006 (Table 6). The value of imports carried by truck was 3.6
percent higher in June 2007 than June 2006 while the value of exports carried
by truck was 5.9 percent lower.
Texas
led all states in surface trade with Mexico in June with $7.3 billion (Table 7).
