Abstract:As the interest in sustainable transportation increases, there is a push to reduce vehicle miles of travel (VMT). This report explores VMT and the impact it has on economic growth. In addition, this study examined research to identify successful "decoupling" of VMT and economic growth. Can VMT decrease while economic growth increases? Examples from the literature of United States metropolitan planning organizations and other countries, specifically Lund, Sweden and Singapore, are included.
