NOTE: For this analysis BTS has considered Alaska and Hawaii separately from the Mainland portion of the Census Bureau Pacific Division. The Northeast Corridor Division is not a Census Bureau division, but was created for this study due to the importance of these states as a single transportation corridor. The Northeast Corridor overlaps portions of the New England and South Atlantic Divisions and all of the North Atlantic Division.
NOTE: Although Alaska and Washington State are served by four modes, a four mode figure is not deemed to be a relevant access measure due to the geographically limited nature of intercity ferry services.
