Miles of U.S. Transportation Infrastructure
Source: Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Transportation Statistics Annual Report 2010. Table 2-1-1
Notes: Highways include all public streets and roads.
This chart shows the distance covered by various types of transportation infrastructure. U.S. highways and other roads, totaling more than 4 million miles, cover vastly more miles than any other type of transportation infrastructure in the United States does. Notably, this mode of transportation is the least fuel efficient.
The majority of Amtrak is operated on right-of-way owned by Freight or Transit Rail, which provide the route miles.
Navigable waterways do not include the Great Lakes or deep ocean traffic.
Liquid pipelines are primarily for petroleum products, and gas pipelines are primarily for natural gas.
