KEY: NA = not available. P = preliminary. R = revised.
NOTES: Water for the year 2000 only includes recreational boating and does not include additiional categories of water injuries that are included in the 2010 to 2014 data. The sum of the modal numbers is greater than the TOTAL because some injuries are counted in more than one mode. Other counts, redundant with above help eliminate double counting in the injury TOTAL, as follows: For Railroad, injuries involving motor vehicles at public highway-rail grade crossings are excluded because such injuries are assumed to be included in Highway injuries. For Transit, non-rail mode injuries, including aerial tramway, motor bus, bus rapid transit, commuter bus, demand response, demand taxi, ferryboat, jitney, publico, trolleybus, and vanpool are excluded because they are assumed to be counted as Water and Highway injuries. Please see the National Transportation Statistics table 2-2 for complete source notes and an expanded time-series.
