VMTIndex Now Reaches Communities Nationwide
We’re excited to announce that VMTIndex is now available in many of the cities and counties we serve across the US, expanding access to our vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis tool beyond California.
Formerly known as VMT+, VMTIndex provides real-world travel data at the Census Block Group level. This web-based dashboard gives transportation professionals local insights to better analyze travel patterns and assess VMT impacts. Newer datasets are also available through our consulting services.

Driving Less Starts with Building Differently
How much can planning decisions actually reduce driving? Our latest research introduces a statistical model that links built environment choices—such as density, transit service, walkability, and land use mix—to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The findings give planners and policymakers practical, evidence-based tools to evaluate scenarios, understand tradeoffs, and make more informed transportation and land use decisions.
Navigating VMT Under CEQA
VMT under CEQA continues to evolve as agencies, practitioners, and decision makers work through analysis methods, mitigation feasibility, and defensible evidence. Our new Q&A resource offers practical answers on vehicle miles traveled, SB 743, mitigation program design, implementation, administration, and legal and strategic considerations.
Demand Management Is Injury Prevention
New research shows that reducing driving exposure may be one of the most powerful safety strategies available. The findings connect VMT, mode share, and travel time to fatality rates, reframing demand management as injury prevention.
