Transportation Services Index

The TSI is a monthly measure of the volume of services performed by the for-hire transportation sector. The index covers the activities of for-hire freight carriers, for-hire passenger carriers, and a combination of the two. The TSI is still under development and is being examined for refinements in data sources, methodologies, and interpretations.
