Wednesday, November 27, 2024

This document provides instructions on how to retrieve data from the Transportation Satellite Accounts and the steps involved to answer specific questions, such as the contribution of in-house versus for-hire transportation to the economy.

The TSAs provide a comprehensive means for measuring the contribution of transportation services to the national economy. The TSAs capture transportation activities carried out by (1) the for-hire transportation sector for a fee, (2) non-transportation industries for their own purposes, and (3) households using a personal vehicle.
