VOCs include many of the same compounds as ROGs, but ROGs are only those compounds active in atmospheric photochemical reactions. SECTION B6: Transportation NCDOT - North Carolina Department of Transportation The state department responsible for construction and maintenance of primary and secondary roads across the state. VMT Vehicle Miles Traveled Per capita daily vehicle miles . traveled are .calculated by dividing the total miles driven by the population during that year. Principal Arterials: The primary traffic carrying facilities in the County; trip length and travel density characteristics of substantial inter- county travel or of serving urban -type development; typically would include rural freeways. Minor Arterials : Major traffic - carrying facilities -which combine with the principal arterials to form a network serving all cities and larger towns in the County, major traffic generators and significant inter- county travel, Trip length and travel densities generally less than principal arterials. Collectors: Facilities that generally service infra- county travel. Provides the network connection between local roads and the arterial system. Shorter lengths, lower volumes, and more land access than the arterial system. Local Road: Primarily serves as access to adjacent land use. Any traffic is local in nature; therefore volumes and length are relatively low. The major and minor local roads comprise all remaining public roads not classified as a higher function. Major Local Roads - Relatively short lengths of road that provide a connection of primarily residential areas to the collector and arterial systems. 8/16/2007
