Transportation Indicators
Highlights - July 2002 Introduction

This summary provides highlights from Transportation Indicators, a monthly report developed by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The full report contains over 90 indicators, and is updated each month on the BTS website. The table of contents for the full report is provided at the back of the highlights.

The indicators fall under two broad categories: those that provide context about the economy and society in which transportation functions, and those that convey information about an aspect of transportation. To the extent possible, these latter indicators are transportation-wide in scope; however, some apply to only part of the transportation system.

BTS would like feedback about this summary or the full report. Please contact us with your comments.
