On this page, please share any national (or regional or local) examples of attempts to monitor SDG 9.1.2
State statistical reporting on transport statistics is provided by resident organizations of the Republic of Belarus.
For freight and passenger road transport reports are also submitted by individual entrepreneurs.
The indicator "passenger turnover" is collected by road, rail, air, inland waterway, urban electric transport and the metro in urban, suburban, intercity and international service.
For road transport, we track passenger transportation by buses of organizations, buses of individual entrepreneurs, as well as transportation by passenger-car taxis.
According to railway transport statistics, passengers transported are calculated by summing the passengers sent on trains from the stations of the republic’s railways and passengers taken on trains from neighboring railways of another country.
Passenger turnover in rail transport characterizes the amount of work performed, taking into account the distance that passengers were transported within the Belarusian railway.
The indicator “freight turnover” is collected by rail, pipeline, road, air, and inland waterway transport in domestic and international service.
Carried goods by rail characterizes the mass of goods in tons, transported along the road, to the sections of the road in the domestic and international service.
Czech Republic as a member of the EU follows the relevant EU Regulations for transport statistics. The Regulations concern road freight transport, inland waterways freight transport, rail passenger transport and rail freight transport, air passenger transport and air transport of cargo.
Freight transport:
Road – follows residency principle, i.e. data refer to international and domestic transport of vehicles registered in the Czech Republic on national territory as well as on foreign territory.
Rail – follows territorial principal, data cover all the operators on the CZ territory
IWW – both sets of data are collected, on territorial principle (according to the EU Regulation and sent to Eurostat) and residency principle is used for national purposes.
Aviation – information from the airlines (for national purposes and for ICAO) as well as from the Airports (for Eurostat) are collected.
Maritime – not applicable
Passenger transport
Bus – data are collected from bus operators registered in the CZ, international as well as national transport, on the CZ territory as well as on foreign territory
Passenger cars number of passengers and pkm is estimated based on road censuses, number of passenger cars, energy consumption.
Rail - follows territorial principal, data cover all the operators on the CZ territory
IWW – number of passengers and pkm is available, transport mostly for leisure purposes
Aviation – information from the airlines (for national purposes and for ICAO) as well as from the Airports (for Eurostat) are collected
Maritime – not applicable
Data are collected from the operators, of course they are used for analysis as well. All the strategic documents related to transport, especially the main one - Transport Policy, include measure and objectives to support sustainable transport and more environmental friendly modes of transport – rail and IWW. No more indicators have been adopted for this purpose but there are lot of supportive indicators regularly collected which can be used, e.g. information on infrastructure, vhkm, various transport breakdown.
Regarding indicator 9.1.2 the indicators which are calculated for France are:
- indicator 9.i.1a : modal share of public passenger transport = (railways (including metros) + bus, tramways and coaches)/passengers transport in Metropolitan France
unit = passengers/kilometers (%) on a territorial principal.
It does not include walking and cycling, aviation and maritime.
- indicator 9.i.1b : modal shares of road, railway and inland water transports (/good transport in Metropolitan France)
unit = tons/kilometers (%) on a territorial principal.
2020 targets are 10,4% for railway transport and 2% for inland waterway transport
It does not include maritime and aviation.
These indicators have been adopted to monitor the 2030 Development Agenda.
Besides, modal split for passenger, including air transport inside metropolitain territory, are also calculated in the report of the Commission for the Transport Accounts of the Nation.
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.
Sustainable Development Goal 9, with its targets and indicators: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdg9.
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.
Average CO2 emissions per km from new passenger cars.
