The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) today released its monthly update to National Transportation Statistics (NTS), a guide to historical national-level transportation trends.

Each month, BTS updates NTS with transportation statistics from across the following areas:

• The extent, condition, use, and performance of the physical transportation network and infrastructure.
• Safety information including accidents, crashes, fatalities, and injuries for each transportation mode and for hazardous materials movement.
• Transportation’s impact on the economy, including gross domestic product, employment by industry and occupation, and transportation-related consumer and Government expenditures; and
• Transportation’s impact on energy use.

This month, the following tables received new data:

• U.S. Passenger-Miles (1-40, 1-40M)
• U.S. Ton-Miles of Freight (1-50, 1-50M)
• U.S. Waterborne Freight (1-56, 1-56M)
