NOTES: Passenger-miles of travel (pmt) is the sum of pmt for certificated air carriers (domestic), passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks (other 2-axle, 4-tire vehicles), bus, transit (excluding bus), and intercity/Amtrak rail. Energy consumption is the sum of that for commercial aviation (passenger), gasoline fuel (passenger cars, light trucks, and buses), and Amtrak (which includes electricity and distillate/diesel fuels). Passenger commercial domestic aviation fuel consumption data were estimated from total commercial domestic aviation fuel consumption data. General aviation data are excluded because passenger and freight operations data cannot be disaggregated.
