Glossary for transport statistics – 6th edition – 2026
The Glossary for Transport Statistics, first published in 1994, serves as a crucial resource for standardising transport terminology globally. Since then, it has undergone six editions, each expanding and refining the content to address new trends and feedback from diverse stakeholders. The current sixth edition results from close collaboration among UNECE, ITF, Eurostat, and various experts from international sectoral bodies, agencies, and member countries, ensuring relevance amid dynamic global transport changes. The revision was influenced by the streamlined Eurostat/ITF/UNECE Common Questionnaire on Inland Transport Statistics, to be implemented from 2026. This edition comprises 884 definitions and remains vital for those engaged in transport statistics, offering thoroughly updated content across all ten chapters to ensure information is current and comprehensive.
