Assumptions:
(a) Consecutive access/egress by subway suggest PATH in 2001.
(b) Consecutive segments include subway transfer and PATH.
(c) In 2001, PATH + subway could be 60,000–80,000 trips per weekday, annualized to approximately 60,000 per day.
(d) Census 1990–2000 county work flow indicates 9.8% growth in New Jersey workers in New York; assume 1995–2000 = 5% then 1995 PATH riders = 57,100.
