VMT (Vehicle Miles Traveled) Reduction

Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Reduction refers to efforts aimed at decreasing the total number of miles driven by vehicles. This can be achieved through various strategies, such as promoting public transportation, encouraging carpooling, improving walking and biking infrastructure, and fostering remote work. Reducing VMT is important because it can lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions, decreased traffic congestion, and improved air quality. By minimizing the distance and frequency of vehicle use, communities can enhance sustainability and overall quality of life while addressing environmental challenges.
