Household Vehicle Choice in California: Behavior and Impacts

Research Product Type

Policy Brief

An increasing diversity of vehicle types, paired with a growing demand for PEVs, has major implications for vehicle miles traveled (VMT), air pollution, and emissions. To better understand what is likely to happen, researchers predict household vehicle preference and VMT by vehicle body and fuel type.

Research Report

The report explores the necessity to correctly estimate the preference for vehicle holdings of households as well as the vehicle miles traveled by vehicle body- and fuel-type to project future Vehicle Miles Traveled changes and mobile source emission levels. The report presents the application of a utility-based model for multiple discreteness that combines multiple vehicle types with usage in an integrated model, specifically the MDCEV model.
