U.s. and Canadian Statistical Sources for Transborder Trucking Information

Pages : 13
Book Description
The goal of this paper is to examine and appraise the major sources of information upon which policymakers, researchers and carriers can make decisions regarding the economic, financial, and operating environments of the transborder trucking industry. An improved information environment will lead to better decisions and facilitate the economic coordination and integration sought in the market through free trade. The authors focus on two major information areas: traffic flow and financial/operating statistics. In their conclusion, the authors find that a few of the existing U.S. and Canadian statistical data sources can be used for transborder trucking analyses, even though they were not designed for that purpose. Few of the databases contain any information on the performance of transborder trucking as perceived by the users of transportation. They feel that in the future, there must be greater international cooperation in the design of statistical data collection systems between the U.S. and Canada. Presently, one cannot track the behaviour of particular carriers across the border. In the U.S., company reports are not available through Canadian agencies. On the Canadian side of the border, detailed and data-rich carrier-based surveys are carried out but there is no comparable activity on the U.S.side. For the covering abstract of the Conference, see IRRD Abstract No. 807771.

Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Transportation Statistics Annual Report is a summary of the state of the transportation system and its consequences, the quality of statistics used to characterize the transportation system, and planned efforts by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) to improve the quality of the statistics. BTS was established by Congress to compile, analyze, and make accessible information on the nation's transportation system; to collect information on intermodal transportation and other related areas as needed; and to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the Department of Transportation's statistical programs through research, the development of guidelines, and the promotion of improvements in data acquisition and use.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030906404X
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
How can the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the nation's newest federal statistical agency, contribute to the work of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)? What is the appropriate role for such an agency as a part of a major department? BTS was authorized in 1991 by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in recognition of the need for more and better data for transportation officials at local, state, and federal levels. While the USDOT has many long-standing data collection programs for particular transportation modes (highways, rail, air, etc.), it has never had a statistical agency with a mandate to improve the quality and relevance of transportation data for important system-wide, cross-modal analyses of the nation's transportation system. This book examines how BTS can provide statistical leadership for USDOT, define and maintain quality standards for transportation data, and improve data documentation. It considers BTS's role in developing national transportation indicators, coordinating data collection throughout USDOT, filling gaps, identifying user needs, and developing analysis programs for transportation data. Anyone concerned with having high-quality, relevant transportation indicators and other data available for policy planning, evaluation, and research will be interested in this book, as will students of effective government.
