A KIMLEY-HORN TRANSPORTATION SOLUTION

TREDLite VMT

™

Fast, accurate data for sustainable transportation projects.

Forward-thinking developers and urban planners are weighing the transportation and environmental impacts of new projects on their communities. One approach: reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), a metric linked to air quality (AQ), Greenhouse Gases (GHG), land use efficiency, safety, and energy consumption.

Whether you are under pressure to meet new regulations, such as California’s SB 743, or rethink quality of life measurements, Kimley-Horn can help. Our transportation professionals have steered dozens of clients, in California and beyond, through their VMT approvals.

These experiences ultimately led to the development of our own sustainable transportation solution, TREDLite VMT.

What Is TREDLite VMT?

TREDLite VMT automates vehicle miles traveled calculations on land use projects. The cloud-based application leverages big data including aggregated and anonymized average trip distances and trip density. It informs municipalities’ planning initiatives and custom, sustainable transportation solutions. TREDLite VMT’s user-friendly interface makes it fast and easy to model scenarios and output projections.
