Cycling as a mode of transport can be seen as a driver of jobs and economic activity just as much as cars and public transport vehicles. The European Cyclists' Federation has produced a report which examines the contribution that cycling makes to economic and job growth across the EU, ranging from bicycle manufacture and repair, to cycle tourism, to the economic impact of public bike-sharing schemes.

Radverkehr in Zahlen (Bicycle traffic in figures) is an Austrian report about cycling. It gives a statistical overview about cycling traffic from a number of different perspectives including  bicycle ownership, cyclist behaviour, cycling infrastructure and safety and security.

National Austrian facts and figures are compared to international statistics. The report further outlines the impact of cycling on the economy and gives information about the existing types of bicycles. The concluding section contains a survey on the user satisfaction.

The Public Transportation Fact Book, published annually, contains national aggregate statistical data covering all aspects of the transit industry in the United States and Canada.

It also provides outlooks and trends for selected indicators.
