Series not continuous between 1991 and 1992. 1992 to 1995 data include propane, liquefied natural gas, bio/soy fuel, biodiesel,hydrogen, methanol and ethanol, except compressed natural gas. 1996 to 2001 data include only propane, liquefied natural gas, methanol and ethanol. 2002 to 2009 datainclude the above, and also biodiesel and grain fuel.NOTESData prior to 1996 are not comparable to data from 1996 onward due to a change in sources with differing methodologies. 2009 data for Gasoline and other nondieselfuels is not comparable to previous years' data due to a change in the reporting requirements that require transit agencies to submit energy consumption data for bothpurchased transportation (PT) services and directly operated (DO) transportation services. The major effect <strong>of</strong> this reporting change occurred within the following modes:Demand Response, Motor Bus, Publico, and Vanpool.This table is not comparable to previous editions due to a change in the unit <strong>of</strong> measure <strong>of</strong> power consumption.The heat equivalent factor used in joule conversion for electric = 3,600 kJ/kWh, negating electrical system losses (to include electrical system losses, multiply thisconversion factor by approximately three).1.609344 kilometers = 1 mile.3.785412 liters = 1 gallon.SOURCE1960-1995: American Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Association, 2009 Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Fact Book Appendix A: Historical Tables (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), tables 7,17, 29, 30, 31 and similar tables in earlier editions, available at http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Pages/transitstats.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Apr. 1, 2010.1996-2010: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, National Transit Database, tables 19 and 17 and similar tables in previous editions,available at www.ntdprogram.gov as <strong>of</strong> November 2011.
