For years prior to 1980, some miles <strong>of</strong> nonpublic roadways are included. No consistent data on private roadmileage are available. Beginning in 1998, approximately 43,000 miles <strong>of</strong> Bureau <strong>of</strong> Land Management Roads are excluded.bData represent miles <strong>of</strong> road owned (aggregate length <strong>of</strong> road, excluding yard tracks, sidings, and parallel lines).cPortions <strong>of</strong> Class I freight railroads , Amtrak , and Commuter rail networks share common trackage. Amtrak data represent miles <strong>of</strong> road operated.dTransit system length is measured in directional route-miles. Directional route-miles are the distance in each direction over which public transportation vehicles travel while in revenueservice. Directional route-miles are computed with regard to direction <strong>of</strong> service, but without regard to the number <strong>of</strong> traffic lanes or rail tracks existing in the right-<strong>of</strong>-way. Beginning in 2002,directional route-mileage data for the Commuter and Light rail modes include purchased transportation. 2005 and later years directional route-mileage data for the Heavy rail mode includepurchased transportation.eThese are estimated sums <strong>of</strong> all domestic waterways which include rivers, bays, channels, and the inner route <strong>of</strong> the Southeast Alaskan Islands, but does not include the Great Lakes ordeep ocean traffic. The Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center monitored 12,612 miles as commercially significant inland shallow-draft waterways in 2001. Beginning in 2007, waterwaysconnecting lakes and the St. Lawrence seaway inside the U.S. are included.fThe large drop in mileage between 2000 and 2001 is due to a change in the source <strong>of</strong> the data. CO 2 or other is excluded for 2004 to 2008.gIncludes trunk and gathering lines for crude-oil pipeline.hExcludes service pipelines. Data not adjusted to common diameter equivalent. Mileage as <strong>of</strong> the end <strong>of</strong> each year. Data includes gathering, transmission, and distribution mains. Prior to1985 data also include field lines. See table 1-10 for a more detailed breakout <strong>of</strong> Oil and Gas pipeline mileage. Length data reported in Gas Facts prior to 1985 was taken from theAmerican Gas Association's member survey, the Uniform Statistical Report, supplemented with estimates for companies that did not participate. Gas Facts length data is now based oninformation reported to the U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> on Form 7100. Since data for 1985 and later years are obtained from the Pipeline and Hazardous Material SafetyAdministration, data for these years are not comparable with prior years or with numbers published in the previous NTS reports.NOTEEno <strong>Transportation</strong> Foundation has discontinued its oil pipeline data for years prior to 2001SOURCESHighway:1960-95: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics Summary to 1995, FHWA-PL-97-009 (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table HM-212.1996-2009: Ibid., Highway Statistics , table HM-20, (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), available at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/ohpi/hss/hsspubs.cfm as <strong>of</strong> Dec. 21, 2010.Class I rail:1960-2009: Association <strong>of</strong> American Railroads, Railroad Facts (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), page 3, and similar tables in earlier editions.Amtrak:1980: Amtrak, Corporate Planning and Development , personal communication (Washington, DC).1985-2001: Amtrak, Corporate Planning and Development, Amtrak Annual Report, Statistical Appendix (Washington, DC: Annual Issues).2002-09: Association <strong>of</strong> American Railroads, Railroad Facts (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), page 77, and similar tables in earlier editions.Transit:1985-95: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, National Transit Database (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), available athttp://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram as <strong>of</strong> Nov. 16, 2009.1996-2009: Ibid., National Transit Database (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table 23 and similar tables in earlier edition, available at http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram as <strong>of</strong> Dec.21, 2010.Navigable channels:1960-96: U.S. Army Corps <strong>of</strong> Engineers, Ohio River Division, Huntington District, Ohio River Navigation System Report, 1996, Commerce on the Ohio River and its Tributaries (FortBelvoir, VA: 1996), page 2.1997-99: Ibid., Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center Databases , personal communication, Aug. 3, 2001.2000-04: Ibid., personal communication, Apr. 21, 2006.2005-06: U.S. Army Corps <strong>of</strong> Engineers, personal communication, Dec. 12, 2006.2007-09: U.S. Army Corps <strong>of</strong> Engineers, personal communication, May 13, 2009 and Dec. 15, 2009.Oil pipeline:2001-03: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, Office <strong>of</strong> Pipeline Safety,Pipeline Statistics , available at http://ops.dot.gov/stats.htm as <strong>of</strong>May 22, 2009.2004-09: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, Office <strong>of</strong> Pipeline Safety,Pipeline Statistics , available at http://ops.dot.gov/stats.htm as <strong>of</strong>Nov. 30, 2010.Gas pipeline:1960-80: American Gas Association, Gas Facts (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table 5-1 and similar tables in earlier editions, personal communication, May 07, 2009.1985-2009: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, Office <strong>of</strong> Pipeline Safety,Pipeline Statistics , available at http://ops.dot.gov/stats.htm as <strong>of</strong>Nov. 30, 2010.
