Vehicle Use and Miles Traveled By Vehicle Type, (2019-2022)
This report shows the total miles traveled by state vehicles, broken down by vehicle type: fossil fuel vehicles, hybrids, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). It also includes miles traveled by specific agencies.
The DAS Statewide Fleet Policy encourages agencies to:
- Reduce vehicle use by holding virtual meetings.
- Justify travel needs.
- Pool trips when possible.
These policies help agencies deliver services while lowering GHG emissions.
Why Reducing Vehicle Travel Matters
Agencies use light-duty vehicles for many tasks, like attending meetings, field work, and helping Oregonians. By reducing miles traveled, agencies can:
- Use less fossil fuel and lower GHG emissions.
- Save on fuel costs.
- Reduce vehicle wear and tear.
Reporting Miles Traveled
Oregon law requires seven agencies to report vehicle miles traveled every two years for their light-duty vehicles. This report includes the statewide light-duty fleet that agencies rent from retailers.
Key Trends (2019-2022)
- Some agencies, like Oregon State Police, had steady or slightly higher miles traveled.
- Other agencies, like DAS, reported fewer miles due to remote work and virtual meetings during the Covid pandemic.
Notes
- Blank years mean the agency did not report data to DAS for that year.
- Agencies replaced in-person meetings with virtual meetings during the Covid pandemic, resulting in reduced miles traveled
