The update
BTS periodically refreshes National Transportation Statistics, a broad collection covering the transportation system, safety, energy, freight, passenger travel and the economy. It provides context for policy and business analysis.
Read carefully
Tables may use different time periods, definitions and adjustment methods. Check the notes before comparing a monthly employment series with annual freight totals or crash data.
Practical takeaway
Use official data to test broad claims, then return to operating records for decisions. A fleet’s own cost per mile, maintenance history and customer mix remain essential.
