• Abstract:
  The purpose of this study was to explore how VMT might be used as a transportation evaluation metric in Virginia, based on reviewing how VMT has been applied elsewhere and translating such uses to the Virginia context. The research explored how widespread VMT is in the United States; at what points in Virginia’s planning process could VMT analysis be used; and the benchmarks, analysis methods, benefits, drawbacks, and implementation challenges and solutions from other agencies that have used VMT as a metric.
