NOTES
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.
