This industry is comprised of establishments which provide transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation and support of activities related to modes of transportation (air, rail, water, road, and pipeline). It is divided into three basic activities: transportation (with subsectors for each mode), warehousing and storage (this differs from merchant wholesaling in that these establishments do not sell goods) and support (e.g., routine repair and maintenance of transportation equipment).

Also included are subsectors for passenger transportation for scenic and sightseeing activities and postal and courier services. Not included in this industry are establishments which provide travel agent services and those which are primarily engaged in the rental and leasing of transportation equipment without operators.
