Based on regional and federal guidelines, the regular service life of a transit bus is 12 years. Advances in technology and a continued focus on maintenance has made Metro Transit's fleet more reliable than ever. In 2014, buses traveled an average of 7,518 miles between maintenance road call. Metro Transit's buses are typically used for a year or two to provide service to the Minnesota State Fair and have more than 400,000 miles on their odometers by the time they are sold through public auction.
This section focuses on daily passenger travel. Results from the 2001 NHTS show that daily travel in the United States totaled about 4 trillion miles (table 2, table A-8), an average of 14,500 miles per person per year. On a daily basis, the average person traveled 40 miles, most of it (35 miles) in a personal vehicle. Because more than one person can travel in a personal vehicle, these 35 person miles amounted to about 23 vehicle miles traveled. Annually, the total number of vehicle miles traveled in 2001 was nearly 2.3 trillion.
