The Dow Jones Transportation Average (also called the "Dow Jones Transports;" DJTA) is the oldest U.S. stock market index.

Overview：

The Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA) is the most widely recognized gauge of the transportation sector. It is also the oldest index used today, even older than its more famous brother, the Dow Jones Industrials (DJIA). The Transportation Average was the first stock index developed by Charles Dow in 1884. At inception, the index held only nine stocks (all railroads). In 1896 it was modified to include 20 “active” stocks, including 18 railroads. (As you can probably guess, automotive and airline stocks were not added to the index until much later.) The index is often referred to simply as the Dow Jones Transports.

Composition：

The Dow Jones Transportation Average is composed of 20 stocks that are chosen to represent the transportation industry. Like other Dow Jones Averages, it is a price-weighted index. This means that a firm's weighting in the index is determined by its share price, not by its market capitalization.
