Data are reported for fiscal years.NOTESAverage length <strong>of</strong> haul for freight is calculated by dividing ton-miles by estimates <strong>of</strong> tonnage from the various data sources. The calculation <strong>of</strong> average length <strong>of</strong> haul for passenger trips varies by mode: for air carrier it is calculated by dividing revenue passenger-miles by revenue passenger enplanements; forcommuter rail and Amtrak it is calculated by dividing passenger-miles by number <strong>of</strong> passengers.Eno <strong>Transportation</strong> Foundation has discontinued some data series years prior to 1990.1.609344 kilometers = 1 mile.SOURCESFreight:Air carrier:1991-2001: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Bureau <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> Statistics, Office <strong>of</strong> Airline Information, Air Freight Summary Data (U.S. Carriers) , special tabulation, available at http://www.transtats.bts.gov/rtm91_02.htm as <strong>of</strong> Aug. 18, 2011.2002: Ibid., TranStats Database, T-100 Market Data , special tabulation, Mar. 18, 2010.2003-10: Ibid., Air Cargo Summary Data (All U.S. Carriers) , special tabulation, available at http://www.transtats.bts.gov/freight.asp as <strong>of</strong> July 17, 2012.Class I rail:Association <strong>of</strong> American Railroads, Railroad Facts (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), pp. 27, 28, 36, and similar pages in previous editions.Water:U.S. Army Corps <strong>of</strong> Engineers, Waterborne Commerce <strong>of</strong> the United States, Part 5 (New Orleans, LA: Annual Issues), section 1, table 1-4, available at http://www.iwr.usace.army.mil/ndc/wcsc/wcsc.htm as <strong>of</strong> July 17, 2012.Oil pipeline:1960-70: <strong>Transportation</strong> Policy Associates, Washington, DC, personal communication.Passenger:Air carrier:1960-99: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Bureau <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> Statistics, Office <strong>of</strong> Airline Information, Air Carrier Traffic Statistics, T-100 Segment Data (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), p. 3 and similar pages in previous issues.2000-10: Ibid., TranStats Database, T-100 Market Data and T-100 Segment Data , special tabulation, July 17, 2012.Commuter Rail:1980-95: American Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Association, Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Fact Book, Appendix A: Historical Tables (Washington, DC: April 2011), table 3, available at http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Pages/transitstats.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Aug. 18, 2011.1996-2010: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, National Transit Database (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table 19 and similar tables in earlier editions, available at http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram/data.htm as <strong>of</strong> July 17, 2012.Amtrak:1970-85: Amtrak, personal communication, Jan. 26, 1999.1990-2002: Amtrak, Amtrak Annual Report (Washington, DC: 2003), Statistical Appendix.2003-10: Association <strong>of</strong> American Railroads, Railroad Facts (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), p. 77 and similar pages in previous editions.
