  • BTS Data Spotlight: Navigation Channel Bridges at Top-Ranking Ports Navigation channel bridges associated with highway and maritime transportation provide passage for vehicles to cross waterways, they also limit a port's ability to accommodate growing vessel sizes due to vertical clearances. As a result, an inoperative or collapsed channel bridge can impact the U.S. supply chain and freight movement. Six ports: - Port of Baltimore, Maryland - Port of Virginia, Virginia - Port of Mobile, Alabama - Port of New Orleans, Louisiana - Port of Houston, Texas - Port of Long Beach, California https://lnkd.in/eT-HbKmb

  • BTS Data Release: BTS Releases Transportation Public Finance Statistics 2023 data BTS released the Transportation Public Finance Statistics (TPFS) with preliminary 2023 data. TPFS provides information on transportation-related revenue and expenditures for all levels of Government, including Federal, state, and local, and for all modes of transportation. Coming Soon: BTS will be releasing State-by-State TPFS numbers. As seen in the chart below, expenditures when adjusted for inflation hit a peak in 2020 and declined after that.
