(North Carolina) CRMPO and NCDOT established 2023 and 2025 PHED targets at 10.0 hours. For target setting purposes, the NPMRDS provides only three years of pre-pandemic data (2017-2019) to analyze PHED trendlines and performance. The pandemic-related travel impacts experienced in 2020 and 2021 skewed PHED performance in 2020 and 2021, making it difficult to discern the impacts of project improvements during that time period on travel. Going forward, the uncertainty surrounding travel behavior, commuting, work-from-home, economic conditions, and fuel prices makes trend analysis and projections difficult in the near term. Establishing the 2023 and 2025 targets at 10.0 hours accounts for potential performance challenges for PHED.

(North Carolina) The percentage of Non-SOV Travel in the Concord, NC UZA remained steady from 2013 to 2019, ranging between 17.1% and 17.9%. Non-SOV Travel increased to 18.8% in 2020 and 19.5% in 2021, most likely due to an increase in the number of residents working from home during the pandemic. The lasting effects of pandemic-related changes to commuting behavior are unknown. Going forward, the uncertainty surrounding travel behavior, commuting, work-from-home, economic conditions, and fuel prices makes trend analysis and projections difficult in the near term. Establishing the 2023 and 2025 targets at 17.0% accounts for potential performance challenges for Non-SOV Travel in the Concord UZA.
