Bureau updates transportation data

Highlights

Bureau of Transportation Statistics released its monthly update of National Transportation Statistics, expanding national-level datasets on infrastructure, safety, economics, and energy use.
Updated tables cover U.S. oil and gas pipeline mileage, aviation fleet counts, transportation fatalities and injuries by mode, waterborne property damage, and employment in for-hire transportation.
The release includes refreshed data on congestion, energy intensity, carbon dioxide emissions, fuel waste, air quality nonattainment, and leaking underground storage tanks, supporting long-term U.S. transportation trend analysis.

Monthly update expands core transport indicators

Bureau of Transportation Statistics said it has published the latest monthly refresh of National Transportation Statistics, its national-level data compendium first issued in November 1971. The release covers measures tied to the scale, condition, use and performance of transportation infrastructure, along with safety outcomes, economic activity and energy use across the sector.

Newly updated tables this month include U.S. oil and gas pipeline mileage, active U.S. air carrier and general aviation fleets by aircraft type, transportation fatalities by mode, injured persons by transportation mode and multiple motor vehicle safety datasets. The update also adds revised waterborne safety and property damage figures, employment data for for-hire transportation and selected related industries, and air carrier fuel consumption and travel statistics.

Safety, energy and emissions data remain in focus

The latest release also refreshes indicators tied to congestion, environmental performance and regulatory exposure. Those tables include energy intensity of passenger modes, annual wasted fuel due to congestion, annual wasted fuel per person, areas in nonattainment of national ambient air quality standards, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from energy use by sector, leaking underground storage tank releases and cleanups, and highway noise barrier construction.

NTS has expanded over time by incorporating materials from other Department of Transportation programs. With more than 200 regularly updated datasets and tables, the publication serves as a broad statistical reference for government, industry and researchers tracking long-term transportation trends in the U.S.

Our earlier analysis of Chevron (CVX) focused on the stock’s near-term outlook amid weak technical momentum, with institutional buying providing some support while index-related flows and key resistance/support levels framed the trading range. It also noted that major energy players have faced criticism for not fully passing lower crude prices on to consumers, keeping fuel-market dynamics in focus alongside longer-term project developments.
