In 2019, there were 46 ferryboat transportation service systems in the United States. A ferryboat or ferry is a form of transportation, usually a boat, but sometimes a ship, used to carry primarily passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry with many stops is sometimes called a "water bus" or "water taxi".

Data are collected and calculated for report years. A report year is each transit agency's fiscal year that ends during a calendar year.
Data are reported for "modes of service". A mode of service is not always identical with a vehicle type of the same name. For example, fixed-route bus service may in specific circumstances be provided by larger van type vehicles and variable origin and destination paratransit service may in specific circumstances be provided by bus vehicles.
