This summary report provides key statistics on passenger travel, freight activity, transportation safety, and transportation energy use for Canada, Mexico, and the United States. It was developed under the framework of the North American Transportation Statistics Interchange, representing the transportation and statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and was produced by the U.S. department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS).
"The primary participating agencies include Statistics Canada and Transport Canada from Canada; the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) (Ministry of Communications and Transportation), the Instituto Mexicano del Transporte (IMT) (Mexican Institute of Transportation) and the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia (INEGI) (National Institute of Statistics and Geography) from Mexico; and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and the U.S. Census Bureau from the United States. Other agencies throughout the three countries participated and provided data and expertise. Major objectives of the North American Transportation Statistics working group are to: (a) identify key information that will help provide a comprehensive view of transportation in North America, (b) characterize transportation activity and impacts across and between Canada, Mexico and the United States, (c) reveal specific data comparability differences among countries, (d) identify data and information gaps and (e) begin discussions for reducing comparability differences and data gaps through cooperative activities."--NATS-WG Web site introduction page.
