KEY: R = revised; RZ = no activity or a value of zero; U = data are not available.

a Data for 1980, 1985 and 1990-2001 have been revised due to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)'s revision to the source data on federal expenditure and federal grants.

b Includes gas and liquid pipeline.

c General support represents administrative and operating expenditures of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Interstate Commerce Commission (terminated at the end of 1995), and the National Transportation Safety Board.

NOTE

Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.

Numbers for state and local expenditures from own funds were calculated by deducting federal grants from state and local expenditures that included federal grants.
