    About the Fact Book The American Public Transportation Association is a nonprofit international association of over 1,500 public and private member organizations including public transportation systems; 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. This is the 67th edition of the Fact Book published by the American Public Transportation Association and its predecessor organizations. Data in the Public Transportation Fact Book have been calculated following statistically rigorous procedures since the data were first accumulated. All Fact Book data from the beginning of its collection represent the entire transit industry for those modes for which data were collected and reported for the year of the data. Beginning in 2008 the Public Transportation Fact Book has been published in three parts. This format allows greater detail in statistical content and at the same time allows data to be easier to find and access. The 2016 Public Transportation Fact Book presents statistics describing transit service in the entire United States in 2013. The 2016 Public Transportation Fact Book, Appendix A: Historical Tables, presents primary data items for the entire time period they have been reported in Fact Books and other statistical reports prepared by APTA and its predecessor organizations. Many data items are reported for every year beginning in the 1920s and ridership is reported from 1890. The 2016 Public Transportation Fact Book, Appendix B: Operating Statistics and Rankings presents six operating statistics for 2014 for each transit agency in size order, totaled for all service modes operated by the agency and in size order for each individual mode. Data are also summed and ranked for urbanized areas, both all modes totaled and for individual modes. In addition, all rural transit agencies are ranked for four operating statistics for individual modes and agency total. Rural data is also total and ranked for states by mode and for all modes combined. These lists greatly expand similar data in previous Public Transportation Fact Books and allow a simple method to determine comparably sized transit agencies -- a difficult task when using existing data sources. Data for Appendix B are taken from the Federal Transit Administration's National Transit Database (NTD) and include only agencies reporting to the NTD. The 2016 Public Transportation Fact Book, Appendix C: Historical Data Files includes large data files on specific subjects. This appendix is being added to the Fact Book data set in 2016. The first two files are (1) data comparing the growth of each urbanized area from the 1950 Census through the 2010 Census and (2) a list of the opening dates and basic statistics concerning the opening of new fixed-guideway segments form 2000 through 2016. APTA produces additional data reports that provide detailed information about individual transit agencies that is not available from other sources. These reports, or information for obtaining these reports, are on the APTA web site at www.apta.com. The Public Transportation Fare Database, published annually, report details of individual transit agency fare structures, fare collection practices, and fare collection equipment. The Public Transportation Vehicle Database, published annually, lists all vehicles owned by participating agencies in fleets, that is, groups of identical vehicles manufactured in the same year. Extensive

    information is included on their propulsion plants, dimensions, and equipment such as communications and passenger amenities. The Public Transportation Infrastructure Database, published in alternating years, lists all fixed-guideways and stations operated by participating transit agencies. Equipment in stations is detailed. The Public Transportation Ridership Report is published quarterly. Each edition presents ridership for each of three months plus quarterly and year-to-date amounts for all participating transit agencies. The reported data are used to estimate total ridership for individual modes and an aggregate total. This report presents a quick indicator of the state of the transit industry shortly after the close of the period being reported. The APTA Primer on Transit Funding presents a detailed explanation of programs in federal laws authorizing funding for the transit industry. Detailed statistics report amounts of funds available and the text describes the uses to which those funds may be put and the methods by which they are distributed. A new Primer is prepared for each authorization of transit law and is updated annually to reflect annual appropriations of federal funds for transit. A Profile of Public Transportation Passenger Demographics and Travel Characteristics Reported in On-Board Surveys is an extensive investigation of the demographic characteristics and travel behavior of transit passengers based on surveys conducted by transit agencies of their passengers while traveling on-board their vehicles. Extensive data for individual transit agencies can be found at the Federal Transit Administration's National Transit Database web site at http://www.ntdprogram.gov/ntdprogram/.

    Methodology The procedure for estimating total data in the 2016 Public Transportation Fact Book, and prior issues of the Fact Book, is to expand available data by standard statistical methods to estimate U.S. national totals. It 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 operating only within the airport, and the following types of ferry service: international, rural, rural interstate, and urban park). The Fact Book can be indirectly traced to the U.S. Bureau of Census Report on Transportation in the United States at the Eleventh Census: 1890, Part II - Street Railway Transportation, published in Washington, DC by the Government Printing Office in 1895. This volume listed data for individual street railways and aggregate data for the entire street railway industry. The Census was conducted again in 1902, 1907, and 1912, but a report with data for individual railways was not published during World War I. Following World War I, an APTA predecessor organization, the American Electric Railway Association (AERA), began publishing annual operating reports with data for individual member transit systems. The last APTA Public Transportation Operating Report was published in 1992. Data for individual transit agencies is now published by the Federal Transit Administration in the National Transit Database report series. The Census of Electrical Industries: 1917, Electric Railways, published by the Government Printing Office in 1920, provided summary data only; no data for individual electric railways were included. Summary data were published by the Census every five years through 1937. Beginning for the year 1922, the APTA predecessor American Electric Railway Association began publishing annual summaries of data for agencies participating in their surveys. The census of transit operations was not conducted in 1942. An APTA predecessor, by then named the American Transit Association (ATA), published The Transit Industry of the United States: Basic Data and Trends, 1942 Edition in March 1943. The following year the summary of transit data, titled the Transit Fact Book 1944, was published and dated for the year in which it was published, which has been continued as the Fact Book dating policy since then.

    Federal transit data summaries from 1890 through 1937 were simple totals of data for all transit agencies reporting to each Census. Because transit agencies were required by law to report their data, it can be assumed that the Census data represented nearly the entire transit industry for those vehicle modes for which data were collected. When the ATA began compiling the Fact Book, data were obtained by survey from ATA member organizations. There was not, of course, a legal requirement for ATA members or non-member transit agencies to report data. In order to estimate data for the entire U.S. transit industry, the ATA expanded the sample data from their survey to represent the entire transit industry using statistical methods. In 1984 APTA members began providing APTA with copies of their submissions to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) National Transit Database (NTD) rather than completing special surveys. The NTD began collecting data in 1979. The NTD data then provided the basis for estimates of national data. Beginning in 1997, NTD data in electronic formats, available directly from the FTA, were used rather than data taken from paper copies of report forms. Amounts for the earliest years for data series beginning 1926 or earlier were first reported in the 1946 Transit Fact Book and were estimated from Operating Reports and data summaries for those years. The definitions of specific data change over time. Data are reported on these tables using the definition that was current when they were collected. For example, prior to the collection of NTD data what is now termed "unlinked passenger trips" was defined as "total trips" and included a count of all persons boarding transit vehicles and paying a fare, using a transfer, or allowed to ride for free for a specified reason. "Unlinked passenger trip" is defined as all persons boarding a transit vehicle and is determined from various counting procedures and statistical expansions required by the federal government. Although these definitions vary, the data can be expected to be nearly identical. All data in this Fact Book calculated by APTA and its predecessors are statistical expansions of sample data designed to represent the total activity of all transit agencies for the modes of service included for a particular year. Base data were from APTA surveys prior to the NTD. Lists were maintained from all available sources for agencies that were not in the APTA or NTD sample. Data were expanded by mode in stratified categories of similar systems based on population and other characteristics. All procedures were adapted to minimize the maximum possible error, a standard statistical method. The number of modes included has increased over time. The year each mode was first included in the Fact Book and in estimated national totals was (year of data, not year of Fact Book title): 1890: Light Rail 1907: Heavy Rail 1922: Bus 1928: Trolleybus 1980: Commuter Rail and Other (Other included aerial tramway, automated guideway transit, cable car,

    inclined plane, and monorail.) 1984: Demand Response 1995: Ferry Boat and Transit Vanpool, reported separately or included in "Other" on some tables. 2000: Regulated Publico included in Bus. 2007: Regulated Publico included in "Other' or reported separately on some tables. 2011: Bus differentiated as Bus, Bus Rapid Transit, and Commuter Bus; Commuter Rail differentiated as

    Commuter Rail and Hybrid Rail; Light Rail differentiated as Light Rail and Streetcar (see discussion "Beginning in 2011 . . ." below). Regulated Publico, Ferry Boat, and Transit Vanpool differentiated on modal tables.

    Data from 1890 through 1983 are for calendar years. NTD data, however, are collected for "Reporting (or Report) Years." A Reporting Year is each transit agency's fiscal year that ends during a calendar year. Beginning in 1984 Fact Book data are for Reporting Years, not calendar years.

    NTD data were first reported for agencies in Urbanized Areas (UZA). UZAs are areas defined during the Decennial Census with at least 50,000 persons including a central city. Prior to 2007, data for systems outside of urbanized areas, rural systems, were not collected or published by the NTD and were estimated by APTA based on other data sources. Beginning in 2007 the NTD collected and made available data for rural agencies. The Federal Transit Administration Rural Transit Assistance Program also sponsored a survey of rural transit agencies. These surveys allowed APTA to more accurately assess the distribution of bus, demand response service, and transit agency vanpool service in rural areas. In association with this, APTA also conducted a survey of other data sources to identify agencies not included in the main NTD report or the NTD rural data. The increase in data available over the Internet from state agencies which oversee transit entities also allows a more accurate estimate of data for agencies eligible for federal transit assistance which provide non-profit service to elderly persons and persons with disabilities and are, therefore, included in demand response data. Data for "bus," "demand response," and "other" are not continuous from 2006 to 2007. Data for other modes and national aggregates are continuous from 2006 to 2007. Bus and demand response in these tables refer to a mode of service, not to a specific vehicle type. Demand response service, defined as roadway service directly from an origin to a destination determined by the rider and not following a fixed-route, is usually provided by vans but is also provided by small buses and in a limited number of cases by large buses. Bus service is a variety of roadway services that share the characteristic of being operated entirely or partially on fixed routes. Bus service data in 2007 included local service, express service, subscription service, diversionary route service, loop service, commuter bus, bus rapid transit, and other types. Although bus service is normally provided by buses, it can be provided by smaller vehicles that may be considered large vans. When the NTD began reporting rural data it became apparent that previous estimates used in the Fact Book for rural data based on other sources were correct in the aggregate but were not correctly distributed between bus, demand response, and vanpool (a part of other on some tables). This is the reason that the data from 2006 to 2007 are labeled as discontinuous for individual modes but not for aggregate amounts. Beginning in 2011 the NTD allowed differentiated reporting of three categories of bus service: "bus" (which is all bus service that is not commuter bus or bus rapid transit), "commuter bus," and "bus rapid transit." The NTD also allowed the differentiation of commuter rail as two modes: "commuter rail" and "hybrid rail." The Fact Book continues a summary value for these two modes beginning in 2011 called "regional railroad." A third new requirement allowed the differentiation of light rail as two modes: "light rail" and "streetcar." The Fact Book continues a summary value for these two modes called "surface rail." A further complication, that some systems now reported as hybrid hail were previously reported commuter rail and others now reported as hybrid rail were reported as light rail, is not adjusted for in previous years' Fact Book data. All three of these modal differentiations were voluntary for 2011 and 2012 NTD reporting but were required beginning with reporting of 2013 NTD data. The inclusion of transit agencies in specific UZA population groups for data estimate purposes was also verified. Many transit agencies provide service to several UZAs, many of which were new in the 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010 Censuses or dramatically changed size in those Censuses. When UZAs are delineated during each Decennial Census the population categories within which they are included for statistical expansion purposes may change and the growth of the area may include the service areas of agencies that had been rural agencies in the previous Census. UZAs are also combined into larger areas or split into multiple areas during each Census. The UZA data are usually not available until two to four years after the Census. For these reasons APTA does not estimate and report historical data stratified by population size groups. Improved counting methods have resulted from increased use of automatic passenger counters and from the use of new fare media such as magnetic and smart cards, the transactions of which can be counted and summarized. This increased automatic counting is particularly important in determining transfer behavior among service modes within agencies allowing more accurate assignment of data by mode.

    It is APTA policy to continually seek to improve the quality of data reported in the Fact Book. Data are sought from all available sources and statistical procedures are used to verify that the data presented in the Fact Book are the most accurate possible data. The data source and general methodology for calculation of each table can be determined from the Statement of Scope, the second line of the right-hand heading of each page of each table. The Statements of Scope are: (1) INCLUDES ENTIRE TRANSIT INDUSTRY: Tables identified as "Includes Entire Transit Industry" include data for each mode, subtotals, and totals for the entire transit industry for the modes with data reported for each particular year. Any mode for which data is not reported for a particular year is not included in subtotals and totals. These data are based on APTA Operating Report data until the the early 1980s and on National Transit Database reports since then as described above. These data are expanded using any other available source to estimate values for transit service not included in those base sources. (2) INCLUDES TRANSIT AGENCIES REPORTING TO NATIONAL TRANSIT DATABASE FOR URBANIZED AREAS ONLY and (3) INCLUDES TRANSIT AGENCIES REPORTING TO NATIONAL TRANSIT DATABASE FOR RURAL AREAS ONLY: These data are taken directly from each year's National Transit Database and include only those services reported to the National Transit Database. They are NOT expanded to account for transit agencies which do not report to the National Transit Database. NTD data for urbanized areas include most service in those areas and NTD data for rural areas include most service in rural areas. (4) INCLUDES SAMPLE IN APTA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE DATABASE ONLY; (5) INCLUDES SAMPLE IN APTA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE DATABASE ONLY; and (6) INCLUDES SAMPLE IN APTA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FARE DATABASE ONLY: These data are taken from APTA conducted surveys. They are based on the responses of APTA members that provide data on a voluntary basis. They are NOT expanded to account for transit agencies which do not participate in APTA surveys. Because they are samples and are not expanded, most data taken from these databases are presented as percentages of the sample. In cases where amounts are reported for data items, it is important to remember they represent the amounts only for the sample and may be significantly smaller than the value for the entire transit industry would be.
