NOTES:
Investment data here are in terms of
calendar years unlike the other data in section 10, which are in terms of
fiscal years. Investment in transportation infrastructure constitutes the purchase or construction value of
transportation facilities and structures.
Federal, state, and local data are combined. Data include all modes except pipeline;
state and local rail data were only available from 1993-2000 when this report
was prepared. Investment in rolling stock data consist of government outlays for motor vehicles only,
because data for other rolling stock (e.g., aircraft, vessels, and boats) are
not available.
These transportation investment data are not comparable to those in the
September 2004 edition of this report because of changes in methodology and
data sources. Data may not add to total because of independent rounding.To
eliminate the effects of inflation over time, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics
converted current dollars (see table 10-7b) to chained 2000 dollars.
