The U.S. Department of Transportation published the results of a 1995 Nationwide Personal Transportation survey subsequent to my drafting of the report. I have analysed much of it. The analysis would be useful in updating part of Chapter II Services and Users, Taxi Services. The analysis is described below.
Information from two relevant recently conducted surveys were not available when the report was written: (1) The 1997 Census of Transportation, Communications, and Utilities; and (2) a 1998 survey sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences and conducted by the North Carolina State University, Institute for Transportaion Research. It now appears both of these will provide more up-to-date information on some of the topics. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Transportation has published more recent safety data in their Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) and General Estimates System (GES) than was available.

The Table of Contents and the Sources and References list of the February 1998 report Taxi and Livery Statistics are available on this page in pdf format. I wrote the report because I perceived a nationwide information gap, and misleading information in some of the publications in existance. The latter include federal publications by:
The summary text of the report consists of roughly 154 8 1/2 by 11" pages and there are about 283 additional pages of appendices, an acronym list, and sources and references. At present, copies of the report are available in printed or electronic forms.
