Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) by passenger automobiles is an important determinant of gasoline consumption, ambient air quality, highway safety, and personal and corporate financial conditions in the United States. Changing patterns and trends in VMT, therefore, have profound implications for energy conservation, environmental quality, and economic stability. Forecasts of likely future levels of VMT have become a central input to transportation policy analysis. The report is an effort to assess the state of the art of VMT forecasting and map out strategies for extending it. The work included an inventory of data sources and a review of existing VMT models.
