State Departments of Transportation = 52, MPOs = about 375, Transit agencies = about 50, Tribal and other government agencies = as many as 600. Total respondents = 1077. Total burden hours = 2154 (2 hours per response). Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated average reporting burden per response is two hours.
