* Congestion, transit, and mobile emission measures are for metro counties only. The Quality Growth Strategy includes a policy to promote telecommuting, and an adjustment was made to the VMT from a modeled estimate of 58.2 million miles per day to 57.4 million miles.
** Represents the base year for modeling purposes and varies from 1995-1998 among measures.
