| Abstract | The number of motor vehicles available to a household has a major impact on the travel behavior of the members of the household. As a result, many metropolitan planning organizations have incorporated models of household vehicle availability or automobile ownership into their travel forecasting model systems. This report summarizes the current state of the practice in modeling vehicle availability. In the past, these models were most frequently labeled auto ownership models, but more recently the term vehicle availability has been used. This report provides examples of a number of types of vehicle availability models and specifies their data sources, explanatory variables, and details of their implementation. Each example model is also evaluated, both relative to alternative models and with respect to the types of applications by metropolitan planning organizations and statewide planners for which the model is best suited.
