Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) by Age

This page shows median cumulative vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by vehicle age. Each chart displays the 50th quantile (median) of total mileage for a given combination of powertrain and vehicle type as vehicles age over time. Lines in the charts below are smoothed using loess smoothihng. The “Data” tab shows the raw data, which also includes the 25th and 75th quantiles. See the about page for more details. Note the observation counts by powertrain and vehicle type as some combinations have few observations.
