8. 1998 and 1999 Vehicle Miles of Travel in the Delaware Valley Region
Estimates of VMT are important for monitoring changes in travel and for evaluating the effectiveness of transportation projects, programs, and policies. Of particular concern is the link between VMT and the air quality effects of pollutants emitted through automobile exhaust. While trip length, traffic flow characteristics, and automobile design also influence emissions, the more VMT growth there is in an area, the more effort is required to attain the air quality standards mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
