Driving is becoming increasingly important to rural Pennsylvanians. While the general population of those aged 16 and older increased by 7 percent between 1990 and 2000, the number of licensed drivers increased by 8 percent and the number of registered vehicles increased by 21 percent. At the same time, highway miles grew by a fraction of 1 percent but daily vehicle miles of travel (DVMT) climbed 22 percent. These changes are much more significant than in urban counties.
