Fixed route bus includes commuter bus, motor bus, bus rapid transit, and trolleybus. The Federal Highway Administration estimates monthly transit ridership, released as part of the National Transit Database. Ridership estimates have been adjusted to account for changes in data collection over time. Starting in January 2012, data for Small System Waiver agencies that do not have a mode are reported under motor bus. Data reported under hybrid rail are reported under their classifications prior to January 2012.

Data used in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' new interactive version of Transportation Economic Trends (TET). TET highlights transportation's role in the economy and explores changes (trends) over time through a series of interactive charts. TET also explains related concepts and data sources for a general audience.

The Transportation Satellite Accounts (TSAs) provide a means for measuring the contribution of transportation services to the national economy. Prior to the TSAs, the magnitude of transportation services had long been underestimated, as most national measures counted only the value of for-hire services. Measurement of services provided only by for-hire firms misses the sizable contribution of transportation services that take place within nontransportation industries, termed as in-house transportation.

To more accurately measure transportation services, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, jointly developed the Transportation Satellite Accounts (TSAs). The TSAs, as a supplement to the U.S. Input-Output (I-O) Accounts, measure the contribution of both for-hire and in-house transportation. The TSAs include all seven of the for-hire transportation industries reported in the U.S. I-O accounts and four in-house transportation modes.
