In 2023, California had the most automobile registrations: almost 13.2 million such vehicles were registered in the most populous U.S. federal state. California also had the highest number of registered motor vehicles overall: nearly 30.4 million registrations.

These datasets provide vehicle counts broken down by ZIP code, model year, fuel type, make and duty (light/heavy) of registered vehicles with specific as of dates.

This annual release provides a snapshot of the number of active vehicle registration counts of light-duty vehicles and medium-duty vehicles by type of vehicle and fuel type, heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and motorcycles and mopeds. Data are obtained from the administrative files from provincial and territorial governments.

This table contains 70 series, with data for years 2000 - 2009 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and was last released on 2014-06-19. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (14 items: Canada; Nova Scotia; Prince Edward Island; Newfoundland and Labrador ...), Type of vehicle (5 items: Total; all vehicles; Trucks 4.5 tonnes to 14.9 tonnes; Trucks 15 tonnes and over; Vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes ...).

Quarterly data on new motor vehicle registration by fuel type, vehicle type and number of vehicles, for Canada and provinces.

This data set applies to vehicles with valid licence plates only and are recorded as of April 1.All blank fields – data not available.

This dataset represents valid driver licenses and identification cards that have not expired within the past 90 days. The identification card count includes individuals who hold only an identification card as well as those who possess both an identification card and a driver's license. While licenses are not issued by county, the dataset reflects the number of valid licenses with a 'county of residence' indicator, which is typically derived from the residence address on record, or the mailing address if a residence address is unavailable.

Number of vehicles authorized to drive in Quebec, both for road vehicles and for vehicles designed for off-road traffic. The data has been revised to comply with the new provisions of Bill 25 protecting the privacy of Quebecers.

This dataset presents results from a survey of 906 FCV and 12,910 BEV households in California. The researcher investigated the sociodemographic profile of FCV buyers and compare them to BEV households. The publicly available dataset file includes the following information: response ID, date survey submitted, information on vehicle owned, ownership of previous PHEVs, BEVs, HEVs, CNGs, household income, home ownership, home type, highest level of education, longest trip in the last 12 months, number of trips over 200 miles in the last 12 months, one-way commute distance, number of people in the household, age, gender, number of vehicles in the household, and annual VMT estimate.

The data set contains registered vehicle population count by various criteria such as vehicle class, vehicle status, vechicle make, vehicle model, vehicle year, plate class, plate declaration, county, weight related class and other vehicle decriptors.

This table contains data on the annual number of fatal and severe road traffic injuries per population and per miles traveled by transport mode, for California, its regions, counties, county divisions, cities/towns, and census tracts. Injury data is from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), California Highway Patrol (CHP), 2002-2010 data from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) . The table is part of a series of indicators in the [Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity]. Transportation accidents are the second leading cause of death in California for people under the age of 45 and account for an average of 4,018 deaths per year (2006-2010). Risks of injury in traffic collisions are greatest for motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists and lowest for bus and rail passengers. Minority communities bear a disproportionate share of pedestrian-car fatalities; Native American male pedestrians experience 4 times the death rate as Whites or Asians, and African-Americans and Latinos experience twice the rate as Whites or Asians.

VITAL SIGNS INDICATOR Daily Miles Traveled (T15)

FULL MEASURE NAME Per-capita vehicle miles traveled

LAST UPDATED July 2017

DESCRIPTION Daily miles traveled, commonly referred to as vehicle miles traveled (VMT), reflects the total and per-person number of miles traveled in personal vehicles on a typical weekday. The dataset includes metropolitan area, regional and county tables for per-capita vehicle miles traveled.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) Vehicle miles traveled reflects the mileage accrued within the county and not necessarily the residents of that county; even though most trips are due to local residents, additional VMT can be accrued by through-trips. City data was thus discarded due to this limitation and the analysis only examine county and regional data, where through-trips are generally less common.

The metropolitan area comparison was performed by summing all of the urbanized areas within each metropolitan area (9-nine region for the San Francisco Bay Area and the primary MSA for all others). For the metro analysis, no VMT data is available outside of other urbanized areas; it is only available for intraregional analysis purposes.

VMT per capita is calculated by dividing VMT by an estimate of the traveling population. The traveling population does not include people living in institutionalized facilities, which are defined by the Census. Because institutionalized population is not estimated each year, the proportion of people living in institutionalized facilities from the 2010 Census was applied to the total population estimates for all years.
