They represent an intermediate stage in the dynamical evolution of asteroids and comets - originating in the main belt or trans-Neptunian scattered disk - and ending with planetary impacts, solar disintegration, or ejection from the Solar System. We present an accurate physical model of NEOs developed by tracking the dynamical evolution of main-belt asteroids and comets onto NEO orbits. The model is calibrated using data from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Results show a size-dependent contribution from the main belt, with the ν6 and 3:1 resonances accounting for ~8
