The VMT is further split into passenger vehicle and truck components. The information gives new insights into the effect on traffic by storm activity, economic fluctuations, and other variables that could not be evaluated using the monthly report.<br><br>The FHWA Office of Highway Policy Information has developed and released weekly Interstate travel information in various forms since April 2020 at both https://datahub.transportation.gov/stories/s/3g63-ik4u and https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/weeklyreports/. Until the week of April 4, 2022, Interstate travel was reported and released weekly through partnerships with State transportation agencies.
