The Bureau of Transportation Statistics offers numerous resources to policy makers and transportation planners in their efforts to better understand, assess and evaluate transportation's role in creating livable communities. BTS is involved in collecting, compiling, analyzing and disseminating multi-modal data that can be used to enhance the Nation's understanding of this and other critical transportation issues.
