Aspen Vehicle Miles Traveled Study
Charlier Associates, Inc. conducted the first comprehensive vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) study for the City of Aspen in 2015. The core component of the study included developing a data-driven VMT model that incorporates numerous local, regional, state and national data sources, including travel surveys, vehicle fleet inventories, fuel economy trends, traffic counts, transit ridership, and lodging studies among others. The VMT model was commissioned by the Aspen Canary Initiative to provide a robust and replicable means of estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from motor vehicles, which represent about 19% of total GHG emissions attributable to Aspen.
