摘要：	The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is legislatively responsible for the management of 14% of the 112,000 mi of public roads that carried 52% of the 118 billion vehicle miles of travel (VMT) in 1996. These roads are comprised primarily of the Interstate and State Highway System that serve as the backbone for highway transportation in the state. As a state agency, the department is concerned with many issues including infrastructure maintenance, safety, mobility, economic development, congestion management, and air quality. The department's capital program is multimodal with investments in public transportation facilities, as well as constructing, operating, and maintaining the highway infrastructure. Its goal is to ensure transportation access and mobility to all of its citizens. This paper describes several analyses of the 1995 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) undertaken by the NYSDOT. These analyses are presented to illustrate the value of the NPTS for New York State and the ability of NYSDOT to focus transportation studies on state-based travel characteristics. The analyses address issues raised by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (ENCON), the state's environmental agency, and the NYSDOT. They were identified during the development of the Air Quality State Implementation Plan, and related activities, such as creating VMT inventories, updating ENCON's emission model, and the conformity analyses of the department's transportation program.
