A study to reevaluate national highway travel forecasts is reported in light of such factors as declining birth rates, possible saturation of vehicle ownership, and fuel constraints. Since highway travel is expected to increase at an annual compound rate of 2 to 3 percent per year to 1990, travel projections are based on anticipated increases in population, licensed drivers, vehicles, and personal income. Even with constraints on fuel the projections appear reasonable assuming continued increases in the fuel efficiency of the vehicle fleet.
