Product Expectations

Our customers have come to expect:

• Reasonable, consistent estimates and forecasts of statewide registered vehicles, VMT, VFC, and VFE.
• VMT by county and by road system (state highway and non-state highway).
• VFC by county and by fuel type (gasoline or diesel).
• Statewide truck VMT by vehicle weight (GVW) classes.

Performance Measurement

We oversee the quality of the data by:

• Comparison of annual VMT model estimates with VMT estimates derived from fuel sales and from smog check data.
• Comparison of regional VMT estimates with regional transportation agency estimates.
• Relating VMT distribution by county with other key socio-economic variables by county such as population, vehicle registration, fuel sale, etc.
