  • Abstract:
    The American Public Transportation Association is a nonprofit international association of over 1,500 public and private member organizations including transit systems and commuter rail operators; planning, design, construction and finance firms; product and service providers; academic institutions, transit associations and state departments of transportation. APTA members serve the public interest by providing safe, efficient and economical transit services and products. Over ninety percent of persons using public transportation in the United States and Canada are served by APTA members. The Public Transportation Fact Book (formerly the Transit Fact Book) was first published in 1943. Available data are expanded by standard statistical methods to estimate U.S. national totals. All data are for the U.S. only, except for the section on Canada. Data for Canada were provided by the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA). This book includes only public transportation data and excludes taxicab, unregulated jitney, school, sightseeing, intercity, charter, military, and services not available to the general public, or segments of the general public (e.g., governmental and corporate shuttles), and special application systems (e.g., amusement parks, airports, and the following types of ferry service: international, rural, rural interstate, island and urban park). Data are based on the annual National Transit Database (NTD) report published by the U.S.Federal Transit Administration (FTA). APTA supplements these data with special surveys. Where applicable, data are calculated based on 2000 U.S. Census Bureau urbanized area population categories. Because data are reported to the NTD based on transit agency fiscal years rather than calendar years, data listed for a particular year are necessarily extrapolations of the sum of data reported for all fiscal years ending in a particular calendar year. All Canadian data are based on calendar years. Public Transportation Fact Book data differ from national total data reported in the NTD in three ways. (1) Fact Book data are expanded to include all United States transit while totals reported in the NTD are limited to summation of those systems reporting data in the NTD. Systems not currently included in NTD totals are rural transit operators, small transit operators given waivers from NTD reporting requirements, some private operators not contracting with public agencies, and some operators which choose not to participate in the NTD. (2) The Fact Book reports some data which are collected by APTA surveys and are not taken from the NTD. Any such data is noted on tables in this book. (3) Fact Book data are trend data. Data are reported for a multi-year period that allows description of growth and change in the public transportation industry. Beginning this year, the Public Transportation Fact Book is being published in three parts. The new format will allow greater detail in statistical content while improving accessibility of information. This Public Transportation Fact Book presents statistics describing the entire United States transit industry for 1995 through 2006 with additional detail and overview presentations for 2006. Also included are definitions of reported data items.
