a The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) typically revises its most recent annual
estimates the following year. The data
here remain unrevised from the date of publication, but may be revised in the
future.
NOTE
Vehicle-miles in this table and in table 2-23 are taken from
NHTSA revised data and are not based exclusively on USDOT, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) data. The change
was made to reflect the different vehicle classification schemes used by FHWA
and NHTSA. Thus, vehicle-miles for
passenger cars, and light and large trucks in this table and table 2-23
should not be compared with vehicle-miles in chapter 1, which are taken
directly from FHWA.
