Data Tables for Private Fleets

There are two types of tables. One type provides counts of the number of fleets that fall into various categories of

data. The other provides counts of the number of vehicles by characteristics. Where only fleet data are provided

instead of vehicle data, it means that particular questionnaire item was asked at the fleet level only. Vehicle

questions were recorded by type of vehicle not by individual vehicle.
