Dataset Description
This dataset details service and cost efficiency metrics for agencies reporting to the National Transit Database in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 report years.
Only Full Reporters report data on Passenger Miles. The columns containing ratios have been calculated as the average across all reporting modes, not as the ratio of summed data. Thus, each transit agency received equal weight, regardless of that agency's total ridership.
NTD Data Tables organize and summarize data from the National Transit Database in a manner that is more useful for quick reference and summary analysis. This dataset is based on the 2022 - 2024 Federal Funding Allocation, Operating Expenses, and Service database files.
In years 2015-2021, you can find this data in the "Metrics" data table on NTD Program website, at https://transit.dot.gov/ntd/ntd-data.
In versions of the NTD data tables from before 2014, you can find data on metrics in the files called "Fare per Passenger and Recovery Ratio" and "Service Supplied and Consumed Ratios."
If you have any other questions about this table, please contact the NTD Help Desk at NTDHelp@dot.gov.
