BTS Updates National Transportation Statistics with Inbound Freight Crossings from Canada and Mexico, Motor Vehicle Fuel Consumption, Weekly Earnings of Transportation Workers, and Other Historical Tables
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) today released its monthly update to National Transportation Statistics (NTS), a collection of annual transportation measures at the national level.
This month’s featured table, U.S.-Canadian Border Land-Freight Gateways: Number of Incoming Truck or Rail Container Crossings, looks at inbound freight activity along the Canadian border, the site of several recent truck blockades. The lines in the chart below show how the number of truck freight containers and rail freight containers coming into the U.S. from Canada has changed in the first two decades of this century. The February release also features tables on the condition of U.S. roadways; transportation-related occupational safety; the earnings of transportation workers; and vehicle fuel consumption in the U.S
