ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY-DUTY GASOLINE AND DIESEL VEHICLES IN CALIFORNIA: POPULATION AND USE PATTERNS

This report presents an inventory of Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) in California by heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) in each of the 58 counties and 14 air bases. To compile the inventory, PES used data generated by two California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) annual studies. These data were supplemented by several types of auxiliary data compiled by a literature search, a special truck traffic survey on 21 different routes selected from city and county roads, and an owner/operator telephone questionnaire on vehicle usage of 622 randomly selected HDVs. Out-of-state truck activities in California were estimated by analyzing data from the 1976 Interstate Transportation and Traffic Engineering Survey and the 1971 Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering Survey.
