US BTS Releases 2024 State-Level Transportation Public Finance Statistics

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) released the 2024 State-Level Transportation Public Finance Statistics (TPFS), providing state-by-state transportation-related revenue and expenditures for rail, highway, and air modes. The data shows that Alaska and New York have the highest per capita state and local transportation expenditures at $3,229 and $2,413, respectively, while Alabama and Mississippi have the lowest at $643 and $670. The data covers 2020 to 2024, but 2023 state-level highway data is omitted due to FHWA not releasing local highway revenue and expenditure data.
