Transportation statistics update 2026

Highlights

Bureau of Transportation Statistics released a monthly update to National Transportation Statistics, expanding national data on safety, fiscal, and energy indicators.
The update adds refreshed tables on transportation fatalities, injuries, work zone safety, and new figures for government transportation revenues and expenditures in current and inflation-adjusted terms.
Updated energy data now includes U.S. petroleum production, imports, exports, sector-specific consumption, and transportation sector energy use, supporting market and policy analysis.

Monthly update expands federal transport data coverage

Bureau of Transportation Statistics said it releases the latest monthly update to National Transportation Statistics, a guide to historical national-level transportation trends in the U.S. The database brings together measures covering the extent, condition, use and performance of transportation infrastructure, along with safety, economic and energy-related indicators.

The latest update includes refreshed tables on transportation fatalities by mode, injured persons by transportation mode, distribution of transportation fatalities, transportation-related occupational fatalities and work zone safety data. It also adds new figures on federal, state and local government transportation-related revenues and expenditures, including current-dollar and inflation-adjusted series, as well as federal transportation transfers to state and local governments by mode.

Energy-related tables updated this month cover U.S. petroleum production, imports, exports and consumption, domestic demand for refined petroleum products by sector, U.S. consumption of energy from primary sources by sector and transportation sector energy use.

Long-running series supports policy and market analysis

National Transportation Statistics was first published by BTS in November 1971 and has expanded into a collection of more than 200 regularly updated datasets and tables. The publication has grown further through the incorporation of materials from other Department of Transportation programs.

The breadth of the update reinforces the database's use as a reference point for policymakers, transport operators, researchers and businesses tracking safety outcomes, public-sector spending and broader transportation demand. Because the tables span infrastructure performance, fiscal flows and energy consumption, the release provides a consolidated view of operational and economic trends across the U.S. transportation sector.

Potential changes to immigration staffing at Newark Liberty International Airport could disrupt international arrivals and returning U.S. travelers, according to concerns flagged by the U.S. Travel Association. Our earlier coverage noted warnings that reduced border processing capacity at the airport could create widespread travel bottlenecks, with significant tourism and economic losses and added reputational risk for the U.S. ahead of major events like the FIFA World Cup.
