Abstract:

This document details the process that the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) used to develop travel forecasting models for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). These models enable FHWA to forecast future changes in the use of passenger and freight vehicles (as measured by the number of vehicle-miles traveled, or VMT) that are likely to occur in response to predicted changes in future economic conditions and demographic trends. Forecasts of VMT developed using these models will inform and support the development of future transportation plans and policies by the Federal government and other transportation policy makers.
