On this page, please share any national (or regional or local) examples of attempts to monitor SDG 9.1.2
At the national level, the indicator tracks data on goods in ton-km and Passengers' journey (passenger - kilometres), total, including modes of transport: rail, road (buses, taxis, trolleybuses), river and air http://statistica.gov.md/public/files/Metadate/en/Transport_en.pdf.
For road freight / passenger transport the data are disaggregated by:
- Districts, municipalities and ATU Gagauzia, economic development regions (North, Center, South);
- Destinations (domestic or international);
- Type of transport (for the carriage of goods by road - for payment or for own use);
9.1.2 is an indicator of obtaining the annual data of quality on the volume of goods transported, goods travelled, passengers transported and passengers' journey, by modes of transport. The Republic of Moldova has not adopted additional indicators regarding the target 9.1.
The Office of management and Budget (OMB) submits the data for all of the SDG Indicators for the United States to the United Nations. The latest data submitted are here, and the source data for the passenger volumes are here.
"When the SDGs first came out it was very unclear as to what freight data specifically the United Nations was looking for. We have submitted data on tonnes rather than tonne-kilometers, because at the time of our first submission we had more recent tonne data than tonne-kilometer data. After consultation with Canada and Mexico, and seeing the direction that WP.6 is heading in, we plan to switch to tonne-kilometer data in next year’s reporting. The freight data are estimates developed through our Freight Analysis Framework: https://www.bts.gov/faf."
"We submitted data for highway, air, transit, and rail. Pedestrian and bicycle data are not included in our submission. Ferry boat data are included under transit, but not other types of vessels, such as cruise ships. Air data are only reported for domestic air service. We did not breakout the data beyond simply highway, air, transit, and rail. The passenger data are tracked by a variety of data programs within the U.S. Department of Transportation, and then compiled together in the attached Table 1-40M.

Approach to Monitoring the SDGs: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/3217494/9237449/KS-01-18-656-EN-N.pdf/2b2a096b-3bd6-4939-8ef3-11cfc14b9329.
"This indicator meameasures the share of buses, including coaches and trolley-buses, and trains in total passenger transport performance, expressed in passenger-kilometres (pkm). Total passenger transport here includes transport by passenger cars, buses and coaches, and trains, and excludes air and sea transport. All data should be based on movements within national territories, regardless of the nationality of the vehicle. The data collection is voluntary and not fully harmonised at the EU level. Other collective transport modes, such as tram and metro systems,
are not included due to the lack of harmonised data."
"This indicator measures the share of rail and inland waterways in total inland freight transport, expressed in tonne-kilometres (tkm). Inland freight transport modes include road, rail and inland waterways. Rail and inland waterways transport is based on movements on national territory, regardless of the nationality of the train or vessel. Road transport is based on all movements of vehicles registered in the reporting country. The redistribution of road transport according to the ‘territoriality principle’ involves modelling the likely journey itinerary and projecting it on to the European road network. Neither sea nor air freight transport are represented in the indicator.
