The North American Transportation Statistics Interchange, established in 1991, is a trilateral forum of government officials from transportation and statistical agencies of the United States,[1][2] Canada,[3][4] and Mexico.[5][6] The purpose of the NATS Interchange is to share information on how to collect, analyze, and publish transportation data; to improve comparability among data programs of the three nations; and to provide North American statistics on transportation. To accomplish this, officials meet on an annual basis in the context of Interchange meetings being held alternately in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Participating agencies include the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Statistics Canada, Transport Canada, the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transport (SCT), the Mexican Institute of Transportation (IMT) (http://www.imt.mx), and the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) of Mexico.
