Authoritative, up-to-date statistical data on global transport developments
can be found in the latest edition of the Forum's annual Trends in Transport

How have the passenger and freight transport sectors evolved in recent years and during the crisis? And what about road safety? This
pocket-sized brochure presents data on global trends in the transport sector with
the latest figures on the impact of the recent economic crisis.
In addition, Trends in Transport 2012 provides the reader with the latest statistics on transport markets in International Transport Forum member countries for the period 1970-2010 for all modes of transport.
Some preliminary data for 2011 are also included.
