This exhibit contains data from July 2006 to October 2011. Weighted monthly NTD ridership data is available from 2002 onward. The gas price overlay is a 12 month average gas price and therefore ridership, employment, and gas data are all 12 month averages. The graph uses 12 month weighted averages, thereby giving a more accurate representation of the monthly 11 NTD data. However, the ridership and employment data have been indexed for a clear comparison
