This Research Brief provides highlights from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s 2024 American Driving Survey, which quantifies the daily driving of the U.S. population in 2024 and compares results to 2023 and 2022. Similar to 2023, this Research Brief analyzes the age of vehicles driven by the American public and explores differences by population groups. This year, new analyses of vehicle engine type are included. Vehicle age and engine type are important components of both crash risk and environmental impact, as newer vehicles are equipped with more advanced safety features, and alternative engines can reduce emissions.
