I was checking out the transportation section of the Textbook.  
The appendix shows radiation doses to workers and the general public 
resulting from the transport of radioactive materials,  yet lists 
doses from only France, the UK, and Germany.

Does anyone have similar data for the U.S. for road, rail, air or 
water?

Jim, see NUREG-0170, "Final Environmental Statement on the Transportation of
RAM by Air and other Modes, December 1977.  The exposure data in this NUREG
covers all modes of transportation and was revalidated by a NRC commissioned
survey.  The survey results were documented in a Sandia Labs report:  SAND
84-7174 (4/85), "Transport of Radioactive Material in the United States."
