"NOTES: Directional route-miles is the mileage in each direction over which public transportation vehicles travel while in revenue service.  Directional route-miles are a measure of the facility or roadway, not the service carried on the facility such as the number of routes or vehicle-miles.  Directional route-miles are computed with regard to direction of service, but without regard to the number of traffic lanes or rail tracks existing in the right-of-way.  Exclusive right-of-way refers to lanes reserved at all times for transit use and other high occupancy vehicles (HOVs).  Controlled right-of-way refers to lanes restricted for at least a portion of the day for use by transit vehicles and other HOVs.  Mixed right-of-way refers to lanes used for general automobile traffic. ",,,
"Directly operated transit is service provided by a public transit agency using its own employees to operate transit vehicles.  Transit service purchased under contract by a public transit agency is not considered directly operated transit.
