Pocket Guide to Transportation-Passenger Miles Traveled
The Passenger Miles Traveled (PMT) section provides a comprehensive measure of the total distance traveled by all passengers across various transportation modes. While "Vehicle Miles Traveled" (VMT) tracks how far vehicles go, PMT measures the actual movement of people—for example, a bus with 20 people traveling 10 miles generates 200 PMT.
