BTS: Bureau of Transportation Statistics
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Bureau is headed by a Director appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. BTS started operations in December 1992, and is required by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 to improve the knowledge base for public decision making, and to improve public awareness of the nation's transportation system and its consequences. BTS compiles, analyzes, and makes accessible information on the Nation's transportation systems; collects information on intermodal transportation and other areas as needed; and works to enhance the quality and effectiveness of government statistics.
