1 TRAFFIC VOLUME TRENDS July 2002 Travel on all roads and streets changed by +2.3 percent for July 2002 as compared to July Estimated Vehicle-Miles of Travel by Region - July (in Billions) West North Central South Gulf Northeast South Atlantic Change in Traffic as compared to the same month last year. +1.3% +2.2% +2.6% +2.5% +3.1% Note: All data for this month are preliminary. Revised values for the previous month are shown in Tables 1 and 2. All vehicle-miles of travel computed with 2001 Table VM-2 as a base Complied with data on hand as of October 29, 2002.

2 Traffic Volume Trends - July 2002 Based on preliminary reports from the State Highway Agencies, travel during July 2002 on all roads and streets in the nation changed by +2.3 percent as compared to July 2001 resulting in estimated travel for the month at billion vehicle-miles. This total includes billion vehicle-miles on rural roads and billion vehicle-miles on urban roads and streets. Travel for the current month as well the cumulative yearly total on all roads and streets is shown below. Similar totals for each year since 1970 are also included.

These data, collected at approximately 4,000 continuous traffic counting locations nationwide, are used to determine the percent change in traffic for the current month compared to the same month in the previous year. This percent change is applied to the travel for the same month of the previous year to obtain an estimate of travel for the current month.
