Notes: A passenger vehicle is defined as a car or light truck (including
pickups, vans, and sport utility vehicles). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) implemented an enhanced methodology
for estimating registered vehicles and vehicle miles traveled by vehicle type
for the years 2007-2009. As a result, involvement rates may differ, and in some
cases significantly, from previously published rates.
