Appendix E - National Transportation Statistics

April 2011

Appendix E provides a list of the data tables found in BTSs National Transportation Statistics (NTS), an online companion publication to this annual report. The NTS has more comprehensive and longer time-series data than could be accommodated within this publication. Mores specifically, it comprises more than 260 data tables, plus full citations for its data sources, a list of acronyms, and a glossary. NTS, which BTS updates quarterly, is available at http://www.bts.gov.
