Notes:
Air: For Canada and the United States, on-demand air taxis are included in commercial aircraft and are excluded from general aviation. For the United States, this is different from the way the data are sometimes presented. For Mexico, air taxis are included in the total for commercial aircraft and are not identifiable as jet and non-jet in the registration files.

Road: Personal vehicles, light trucks: Mexicos total for personal vehicles includes light trucks (such as sports utility vehicles, pickups and minivans). However, it is not possible to further disaggregate light trucks. The U.S. total for personal vehicles does include light trucks, and light trucks are also identified as a separate vehicle category. Mexico may also include light trucks such as pickups in its total for commercial freight vehicles. Canadas total for personal vehicles does not include light trucks. However, light trucks are included in Canadas overall road total.

Water Transport: Freight vessels: The total for freight vessels represents the sum of the liquid, dry bulk carrier, other dry cargo and miscellaneous type vessel categories. Mexican data for container and tank barge vessels have not been included in its total because data for these types of vessels are nonexistent.

Buses (charter, intercity and local motor): Data are derived from a sample of Canadian companies engaged in scheduled intercity bus, urban transit, school bus, charter and other types of bus service from Statistics Canada’s annual Survey of the Passenger Bus and Urban Transit Industry. Local motor buses are also included in the total number of transit vehicles.

Commercial freight vehicles: Data for 1990, 1995 and 1996 are based on Statistics Canada’s Motor Carriers of Freight Survey, supplemented by data from Canada’s vehicle registration files. Data for 1999 are estimates, based upon fourth-quarter data from the Canadian Vehicle Survey–the first quarter of the Canadian Vehicle Survey with results for all of the provinces. Data for 2000 – 2009 is also based on the Canadian Vehicle Survey (CVS). The increase in commercial freight vehicles from 1998 to 2000 is largely due to this break in the time series.

Transit: The total for Canadian transit includes transit rail and local motor bus. Transit rail includes commuter rail, heavy rail and light rail.
