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. Oil and Gas Pipeline Mileage (1-10)
• Active U.S. Air Carrier and General Aviation Fleet by Type of Aircraft (1-13)
• Transportation Fatalities by Mode (2-1)
• Injured Persons by Transportation Mode (2-2)
• Motor Vehicle Safety Data (2-17)
• Motor Vehicle Fatalities, Vehicle-Miles, and Associated Rates by Highway Functional System (2-18)
• Occupant Fatalities by Vehicle Type and Nonoccupant Fatalities (2-19)
