FIRST REGISTRATIONS A passenger car is a road motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, intended for the carriage of passengers and designed to seat no more than nine persons (including the driver). The term 'passenger car' therefore covers microcars (need no permit to be driven), taxis and hired passenger cars, provided that they have fewer than ten seats. This category may also include pick-ups. A good road motor vehicle is any single road motor vehicle designed to carry goods (lorry), or any coupled combination of road vehicles designed to carry goods, (i.e. lorry with trailer(s), or road tractor with semi-trailer and with or without trailer).; FIRST REGISTRATIONS First registrations of brand new passenger cars do not include light trucks.

The U.S. auto industry sold nearly three million cars in 2024. That year, total car and light truck sales were approximately 15.9 million in the United States. U.S. vehicle sales peaked in 2016 at roughly 17.5 million units. Pandemic impact The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the U.S. automotive market, accelerating the global automotive semiconductor shortage and leading to a drop in demand during the first months of 2020. However, as demand rebounded, new vehicle supply could not keep up with the market. U.S. inventory-to-sales ratio dropped to its lowest point in February 2022, as Russia's war on Ukraine lead to gasoline price hikes. During that same period, inflation also impacted new and used car prices, pricing many U.S. consumers out of a market with increasingly lower car stocks. Focus on fuel economy The U.S. auto industry had one of its worst years in 1982 when customers were beginning to feel the effects of the 1973 oil crisis and the energy crisis of 1979. Since light trucks would often be considered less fuel-efficient, cars accounted for about 77 percent of light vehicle sales back then. Thanks to improved fuel economy for light trucks and cheaper gas prices, this picture had completely changed in 2020. That year, prices for Brent oil dropped to just over 40 U.S. dollars per barrel. The decline occurred in tandem with lower gasoline prices, which came to about 2.17 U.S. dollars per gallon in 2020 - and cars only accounted for less than one-fourth of light vehicle sales that year. Four years on, prices are dropping again, after being the highest on record since 1990 in 2022.

In 2024, the auto industry in the United States sold approximately 15.9 million light vehicle units. This figure includes retail sales of about three million passenger cars and just under 12.9 million light trucks. Lower fuel consumption There are many kinds of light vehicles available in the United States. Light-duty vehicles are popular for their utility and improved fuel economy, making them an ideal choice for savvy consumers. As of Model Year 2023, the light vehicle manufacturer with the best overall miles per gallon was Kia, with one gallon of gas allowing for 30.4 miles on the road. Higher brand satisfaction When asked about light vehicle satisfaction, consumers in the United States were most satisfied with Toyota, Subaru, Tesla, and Mercedes-Benz models. Another survey conducted in 2018 and quizzing respondents on their stance regarding the leading car brands indicated that Lexus was among the most dependable brands based on the number of problems reported per 100 vehicles.

OPT maintains an inventory of all the vehicles used by contracted bus vendors in service to the Department of Education. The vehicles inventory can include school buses, ambulances or coach buses. This dataset details the active vehicle inventory for each bus vendor. There are a variety of different vehicles used to serve students requiring curb-to-curb service because an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) indicates specific transportation needs. The standard bus is the only vehicle used for general education students eligible for bus service but who do not have an IEP.

Some 283.4 million vehicles were registered in the United States in 2022. The figures include passenger cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, and other vehicles. The number of light trucks sold in the U.S. stood at 10.9 million units in 2022. U.S. vehicle registrations The United States is one of the world’s largest automobile markets based on the number of new light vehicle registrations, with more than 13.8 million new light vehicle registrations in 2021. However, domestic production of automobiles fell to around 1.6 million units in 2021 and has struggled to increase in 2022. At the same time, the United States imports a significant number of vehicles from various countries, such as Japan, Mexico, and Canada. Leading car manufacturers in the United States The leading car manufacturers overall in the United States include the domestic heavyweights General Motors and Ford. With respect to car brands, the Ford brand clocked in at number one in 2022, selling around 1.8 million vehicles in the United States alone. The brand's holding company is the Ford Motor Company; it was founded by Henry Ford in 1903 in Dearborn, Michigan. The company pioneered in large-scale car manufacturing and introduced production methods such as the assembly line.

US Automatic Traffic Recorder Stations Data

Vehicle Traffic Counts and Locations at US ATR Stations

About this dataset

This comprehensive dataset records important information about Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) Stations located across the United States. ATR stations play a crucial role in traffic management and planning by continuously monitoring and counting the number of vehicles passing through each station.

The data contained in this dataset has been meticulously gathered from station description files supplied by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for both Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) devices and Automatic Traffic Recorders. In addition to this, location referencing data was sourced from the National Highway Planning Network version 4.0 as well as individual State offices of Transportation.

The database includes essential attributes such as a unique identifier for each ATR station, indicated by 'STTNKEY'. It also indicates if a site is part of the National Highway System, denoted under 'NHS'. Other key aspects recorded include specific locations generally named after streets or highways under 'LOCATION', along with relevant comments providing additional context in 'COMMENT'.

Perhaps one of the most critical factors noted in this data set would be traffic volume at each location, measured by Annual Average Daily Traffic ('AADT'). This metric represents total vehicle flow on roads or highways for a year divided over 365 days — an essential numeric analyst's often call upon when making traffic-related predictions or decisions.

Location coordinates incorporating longitude and latitude measurements of every ATR station are documented clearly — aiding geospatial analysis. Furthermore, X and Y coordinates correspond to these locations facilitating accurate map plotting.

Additional information contained also includes postal codes labeled as 'STPOSTAL' where stations are located with respective state FIPS codes indicated under ‘STFIPS’. County specific FIPS code are documented within ‘CTFIPS’. Versioning information helps users track versions ensuring they work off latest datasets with temporal geographic attribute updates captured via ‘YEAR_GEO’.
