This report summarizes a study that examined motorcycle miles traveled as indicated by odometer readings taken from vehicle inspection records. Estimating vehicle exposure is difficult for any type of vehicle, and motorcycles are no exception. Motorcycle vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is based on traffic counts of sampled roadways supplemented with traffic modeling. This study sought to improve understanding by examining motorcycle odometer readings as measures of VMT in Hawaii, North Carolina, and Virginia. Results showed mean annual mileage per motorcycle was consistent year-to-year, and motorcycles were ridden about 2,000 miles each year.
