NOTES: Large trucks are defined as trucks over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR), including single-unit trucks and truck tractors. Light trucks are defined
as trucks of 10,000 pounds GVWR or less, including pickup trucks, vans,
truck-based station wagons, and sport utility vehicles. Pedestrian and pedalcyclist data are not
included because vehicle-mile data are not available.
