VMT is a metric of the total miles travel by vehicles in a defined area over a defined period of time and is often used to estimate the environmental impacts of driving, such as GHG and air pollutant emissions. Reduced VMT also results in additional co-benefits (e.g., reduced congestion), but these additional benefits are outside the scope
Results from the 2001 NHTS show that daily travel in the United States totaled about 4 trillion miles (table 2, table A-8), an average of 14,500 miles per person per year. On a daily basis, the average person traveled 40 miles, most of it (35 miles) in a personal vehicle. Because more than one person can travel in a personal vehicle, these 35 person miles amounted to about 23 vehicle miles traveled. Annually, the total number of vehicle miles traveled in 2001 was nearly 2.3 trillion.
