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.
