How to use the Travel volume and speed trends dashboard
About Travel volume and speed trends dashboard
Our travel volume and speed trends dashboard (TVST) shares highway, toll and freight travel data , focusing on the state's most-traveled commute corridors. The TVST dashboard uses data from our retired COVID-19 dashboard, which was developed to give regular updates on how the pandemic affected statewide travel. We strive to update this data daily.
It includes four categories
Highway traffic volume - compares traffic volumes from 36 spot locations in nine counties to a baseline from 2016-2022
Toll facilities traffic volume - compares five toll facilities traffic volumes to a baseline from 2016-2022
Highway speeds - compares traffic speeds from spot locations in eight counties to a baseline from 2016-2022
Freight traffic volume - compares freight traffic volumes from spot locations in eight counties to a baseline from 2016-2022
