vehicle miles traveled (VMT)

Researchers at the UC Davis surveyed households and bike-share users in the Sacramento region and used both behavioral modeling and market segmentation approaches to identify opportunities for increasing demand while improving access for low-income groups.

With Calculator use increasing, the UC Davis researchers initiated a project to update the Calculator and improve its functionality based on recent data and empirical research.

With Calculator use increasing, the Institute of Transportation Studies at University of California, Davis (ITS-Davis) initiated a project to update the National Center for Sustainable Transportation’s Induced Travel Calculator and improve its functionality based on recent data and empirical research.

This policy brief summarizes findings from research that reviewed the literature on property values, business sentiment, and productivity to understand how VMT-reducing place-making can help boost neighborhood economies.

This research informs metropolitan land use planning by studying a heretofore understudied variation of land use.

Senate Bill (SB) 743 (2013) and its related regulations eliminated automobile level of service (LOS) and replaced it with vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the primary transportation impact metric for land development projects. The LOS-to-VMT shift was expected to create many challenges for transportation analysts. With those concerns in mind, researchers at the University of California, Davis investigated how local governments have been implementing the LOS-to-VMT shift.
