Monday, February 12, 1996 -- Secretary of Transportation Federico Peña today
announced the release of the twenty-fourth edition of the
National Transportation Statistics (NTS) report from the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
The department s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)
has performed a valuable service for those who require
transportation information, Secretary Peña said. This
report continues to serve as a comprehensive source of statistics
from a wide variety of government and private sources brought
together in one convenient location.
The data contained in the NTS report illustrate activity for
the major transportation modes and are collected to support
research, analysis, and decision- making across all areas of
transportation. The data are provided in five-year increments
for 1960-1993, and 1994 where available. In some instances, data
extend back to 1955 and are forecast through 1998. In addition,
selected preliminary statistics from the 1993 Commodity Flow
Survey are included.
Dr. T. R. Lakshmanan, director of BTS, said that
Accessibility to these data is vital to the transportation
community. Over the years, this document has become an
indispensable tool for users of transportation statistics.
National Transportation Statistics is also available
on CD-ROM and on diskette in Excel format.
