TERM uses statistically determined decaycurves to simulate the deterioration <strong>of</strong> the Nation's transit vehicles, facilities, and other infrastructure components. National TransitDatabase (NTD) data are applied to these decay curves to estimate conditions. Only the condition <strong>of</strong> directly operated facilities areprovided for 1995, 1997 and 2000. The NTD began gathering information on facilities owned by bus systems providing servicesunder contract in 1999 (known as purchased transportation), however, TERM did not base condition estimates on this full set <strong>of</strong>facilities until 2002.KEY: R = revised; U = data are unavailable.NOTENumbers may not add to totals due to rounding.SOURCES1995-2004: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, Transit Economic Requirements Model, as <strong>of</strong> Feb.12, 2008.2006: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Transit Administration, Status <strong>of</strong> the Nation's Highways, Bridges and Transit:Conditions and Performance (Washington, DC: Biennial Issues), tables 3-31 and 3-34, available athttp://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pubstats.html as <strong>of</strong> June 25, 2010.
