VALUE OF TRANSPORTATION-RELATED EXPORTS
Components of Transportation-Related Exports (quarterly data, seasonally
adjusted)
Excel | CSV
Automobiles vehicles (including engines and parts), and travel are the
leading commodities in U.S. transportation related exports. Exports of
civilian aircraft, engines and parts also contributed a significant portion
to the U.S. total. In the fourth quarter of 2001, all U.S. transportation-related
exports decreased. Out of these decreases, the drop in exports of travel
services was particularly sharp, reflecting the impact of the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks. However, travel services exports rebounded
in the first quarter of 2002, making up much of the decline that occurred
during the previous quarter.
