Relationships between transportation and communications have generally been analyzed at the household level. Yet most transportation and communications services are used by industry. This paper examines the relationship between uses of transportation and communications services by industry in the countries of the European Community. It is shown that a clear pattern of complementarity appears to hold for such industrial uses throughout Western Europe. The complementarity appears to hold for all subsectors of the transportation service industry.
