1/ While based on historical data, the 2007 fatality rate projection is dependent on the continuation of both individual and market behavior regarding vehicle-miles traveled, seat belt use and motorcycle rider and alcohol related fatalities. The assumptions inherent in these projections, together with the normal levels of uncertainty inherent in statistical evaluations, may influence the accuracy of the projection.

Data is being collected on new measure to determine a baseline for identifying future performance targets.

While all of our performance measures track important activities, we are particularly concerned about trends in four areas: highway fatalities, accidents in commercial aviation, urban area congestion, and aviation congestion. The general public sees our effect on those four issues more clearly than on any of the others, where our activities may only be evident to members of specific industries.
