Data for these years are not comparable to previous years.The FHWA estimates national trends by using State reported Highway Performance and Monitoring System (HPMS) data, fuel consumption data (MF-21 andMF-27), vehicle registration data (MV-1, MV-9, and MV-10), other data such as the R. L. Polk vehicle data, and a host <strong>of</strong> modeling techniques. Starting with the2007 VM-1, an enhanced methodology is used to provide timely indictors on both travel and travel behavior changes.SOURCES1960-94: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics Summary to 1995, FHWA-PL-97-009 (Washington, DC: July1997), table VM-201A, available at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/ohpi/hss/hsspubs.cfm as <strong>of</strong> Mar. 23, 2009.1995-2010: Ibid., Highway Statistics (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table VM-1, available at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics.cfm as <strong>of</strong>Mar. 14, 2012.

Commuter rail, automated guideway, urban ferryboat, demanresponsive vehicles, and most rural and smaller systems are excluded from the data during this period.b1960 to 1991 data include propane. Series not continuous between 1991 and 1992. 1992 to 1995 data include propane, liquefied natural gas, bio/soy fuel, biodiesel, hydrogen,methanol and ethynol, except compressed natural gas. 1996 to 2001 data include only propane, liquified natural gas, methanol and ethynol. 2002 to 2009 data include the above,and also biodiesel and grain fuel.NOTESData prior to 1996 are not comparable to data from 1996 onward due to a change in sources with differing methodologies. 2009 data for Gasoline and other nondiesel fuels isnot comparable to previous years' data due to a change in the reporting requirements that require transit agencies to submit energy consumption data for both purchasedtransportation (PT) services and directly operated (DO) transportation services. The major effect <strong>of</strong> this reporting change occurred within the following modes: DemandResponse, Motor Bus, Publico, and Vanpool.This table includes approximate electrical system losses, and thus the conversion factor is multiplied by 3.SOURCE1960-95: American Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Association,2009 Public <strong>Transportation</strong> Fact Book Appendix A: Historical Tables (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), tables 7, 17, 29,30, 31 and similar tables in earlier editions, available at http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Pages/transitstats.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Apr. 1, 2010.1996-2010: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, National Transit Database , tables 19 and 17 and similar tables in previous editions, available atwww.ntdprogram.gov as <strong>of</strong> November 2011.
