Annual Transportation Inflation Rate
Last Month 12.2%
Last Year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.7%
Last 5 Years 4.0%
Last 10 Years . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.7%

Annual Transportation Inflation Rate: Highs & Lows
High (Last 12 Months) 13.1% (June, 2011)
Low (Last 12 Months) 5.0% (February, 2012)
High (Since January, 1948) 23.1% (April, 1980)
Low (Since January, 1948) -14.3% (June, 2009)
The annual Transportation Inflation Rate for the 12 months ended in April, 2012
was 5.72%. That's 3.05% percent lower than the 12 months ended in March,
2012 which inflated at a rate of 8.77%. It is 4.11% percent lower than the 12
months ended in April, 2011 which inflated at a rate of 9.83%. The fall in
inflation rates from March to April indicates that the short term inflation trend in
transportation prices has been down. If that trend continues, we should see an
inflation rate for the 12 months ended in May, 2012 that is close to 2.67%.
The Transportation Inflation Rate one year ago was 9.83%. Over the last year,
inflation in the transportation price index was 5.72%. The average rate over the
last 10 years was 3.72%. Higher inflation over the last 12 months compared to
the average inflation over the last 10 years serves as an indicator that the long
term trend in the Transportation Inflation Rate is up. Inflation expectations
should be adjusted accordingly.

prices during that period of history was 4.01%. The highest rate was 23.07%.
