https://www.sightline.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/three-WA-vmt-forecasts.gif500525According to the most recent forecasts from the Washington State Office of Financial Management, drivers in Washington state will rack up about 65 billion miles on the highways in 2031. Now, I have no idea if that number is anywhere close to accurate. Nobody does. But what I DO know is that that number is over 21 billion miles lower than the forecast that OFM made 3 years ago, and over 10 billion miles lower than their forecast from just last year.
