Tuesday, September 17, 1996-- The U.S. Department of Transportation today announced that updated information on
transportation terms and transportation-related acronyms are now available in printed
form and on CD-ROM.
Transportation Expressions and its companion document the
Transportation Acronym Guide, provide a compilation of definitions and acronyms of
transportation and transportation-related terms and acronyms used throughout the department and other
U.S. government agencies, state and local agencies, and private sources. Produced by the
department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), this is the second edition for
both documents. Future editions will continue to be expanded in scope to include
additional expressions and acronyms as identified by other government and private sources.
BTS Director Dr. T. R. Lakshmanan said, The purpose of these documents is to
provide users of transportation information with a comprehensive inventory of transportation
terms and their definitions, as well as transportation acronyms and their referents. Accessibility
to consistent data definitions is key to a common understanding of transportation data.
To order a copy of these reports, which are also available on CD-ROM, contact
the Bureau of Transportation Statistics by phone on (202) 366-DATA, FAX on (202)
366-3640, or by writing the Bureau at BTS/DOT, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
