Clearly they are not. Therefore, the brainless argument that adding significantly more people to Montgomery County is a good or sustainable idea is pretty much demolished.<br /><br />You would have to have VMT data broken out by County to make your last argument. 16% growth is much higher than the statewide growth number used by this study.

Saith Dyer...Exposing Dyer's Innumeracy, again:<br /><br />Saith Dyer: "TRIP's latest numbers on vehicle miles traveled show most commuters still aren't 'getting out of their cars'."<br /><br />"Vehicle miles traveled haven't declined in Maryland - in fact, they've increased: 12% since 2000..."<br /><br />"VMT increases almost 1% for every 1% of added population in Maryland"<br /><br />Do you realize that "almost 1%" is LESS THAN "1%"? Meaning that the VMT is growing SLOWER than the growth of population. Meaning that, although the population is increasing, VMT per individual Montgomery County has DECREASED.<br /><br />Here is the change in population in Montgomery County between 2000 and 2015 [Wikipedia]:<br /><br />2000 population (US Census): 873,341 <br />2015 Population (estimated): 1,040,116<br /><br />That represents an increase in population of 16%. Whereas the TRIP study shows VMT increasing only 12% during the same time frame. So the increase VMT is lagging population growth by a factor of 3/4. That's pretty substantial, don't you agree?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-86462507630708088812016-05-19T15:39:51.426-07:002016-05-19T15:39:51.426-07:00And now Dyer is back to his game of "who do y...And now Dyer is back to his game of "who do you believe, me or your lying eyes reading the actual quote?", again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-66791213251910814382016-05-19T15:07:14.183-07:002016-05-19T15:07:14.183-07:008:08: All of your quotes completely back up my sta...8:08: All of your quotes completely back up my statement.
