National Transportation Statistics
The National Transportation Statistics (NTS) is a collection of transportation data first published in November 1971. BTS celebrates the first half-century of NTS with a commemorative publication in 2021. This 50th anniversary edition includes links to digitized versions of the entire NTS collection.
