INTRODUCTION
This is the thirteenth report in a series of annual publications
entitled Travel and Related Factors in California. This document is
prepared by the California Department of Transportation, Office of
Traffic Improvement. This issue contains data which were published in
previous annual reports as well as 1991 data. As year-end adjustments
have been made to some of the previously reported data, some
discrepancies may be noticed when making comparisons. Also, some data
have been reported differently due to changes in reporting methodology
by the source agency.
The following highlights show some of the salient points of each table
or graph. Further interpretation and analysis are left to the reader.

1991 HIGHLIGHTS
TOTAL STATE HIGHWAY TRAVEL:
Travel on the California State Highway System was up for the
seventeenth consecutive year. (Figures 1 through 3)
PUBLIC ROAD MILES BY JURISDICTION AND COUNTY:
The combined total of all jurisdictions' 1991 maintained centerline
road miles increased when compared to the previous year. (Figure 4)
CALIFORNIA POPULATION:
The population of the State of California totaled just over 30 million
in 1991. (Figure 5)
CALIFORNIA DRIVER'S LICENSES:
In 1991, there were just over 20 million licensed drivers in
California. As has historically been the trend, the number of
licensed drivers has increased parallel with the increases in
population. (Figure 6)
- 3 -
NEW AUTOMOBILE REGISTRATIONS:
New automobile registration transactions have been down in each of the
last three years. (Figure 7)
NEW COMMERCIAL VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS:
The number of new commercial vehicle registration transactions dropped
dramatically in 1991. (Figure 8)
NEW MOTORCYCLE REGISTRATIONS:
Registration transactions of new motorcycles declined during 1991.
(Figure 9)
TOTAL NEW MOTORIZED VEHICLE REGISTRATION TRANSACTIONS:
The combined total of new automobile, commercial vehicle, and
motorcycle registration transactions decreased for the fifth
consecutive year. (Figure 10)
- 4 -
ESTIMATED FEES PAID REGISTRATIONS:
As of Deecember 31, 1991, fees paid registration transactions totaled
nearly 23 million. These transations represent the number of

exempt motorized vehicles. Excluded from these totals are the number
of trailers (nonmotorized). (Figure 11)
MOTORISTS' TRAVELING SPEEDS:
The percentage of motorists traveling on State Highways in the 56-60
MPH range averaged 24.1 during 1991, while 24.7 percent traveled from
61-65 MPH and 19.3 percent traveled over 65 MPH. (Figure 12)
FATAL AND INJURY ACCIDENTS:
While increases were noted in vehicle miles of travel, registered
vehicles, licensed drivers, and population, both the number of fatal
and injury accidents decreased in 1991. (Figures 13 and 14)
- 5 -
FULL-SERVICE FUEL PRICES:
The average annual price of all grades of gasoline (regular, unleaded,
and premium) sold in Northern California decreased 2.2 cents, 1.7

prices to 1990 prices. The average annual price of diesel was $1.5
per gallon, up 7 cents per gallon. (Figure 15).
SELF-SERVICE FUEL PRICES:
The average annual price of Northern California's regular, unleaded,
and premium grades of gasoline decreased 5.6 cents, 4.9 cents, and 5.1
cents per gallon, respectively, during 1991. The average annual price
of diesel fuel was $1.31 per gallon. (Figure 16)
TOTAL TAXABLE GASOLINE SALES:
Total taxable gasoline sales (including aviation fuel) totaled 13.2
billion gallons in 1991. (Figure 17)
- 6 -
TAXABLE GASOLINE SALES:
Total sales of taxable gasoline (excluding aviation fuel) were down in
1991 after eight straight years of reported increases. (Figure 18)
ESTIMATED ANNUAL GASOLINE CONSUMPTION:
(By County)
Gasoline consumption by county is an estimated number. Actual figures
are not available as distributors of gasoline are not required to
report shipments destined to each county. These estimates are not
official and are provided for information and planning purposes only.
(Figure 19)
HIGHWAY GASOLINE CONSUMPTION:
There were 12.5 billion gallons of gasoline used on the public street
and highway system in 1991, down from 1990 usage. (Figure 20).
- 7 -
TAXABLE DIESEL FUEL SALES:
As in 1990, diesel fuel sales were down. Sales during 1991 totaled
nearly 1.8 billion gallons. (Figure 21)
TAXABLE GASOHOL SALES:
Gasohol fuel sales increased over 100 million gallons in 1991 when
compared to 1990. (Figure 22)

INTERCITY AND COMMUTER RAIL RIDERSHIP:
Ridership on the San Diegan was down during 1991. This train which
serves passengers on a route between Los Angeles and San Diego,
carried an average of 140,000 passengers monthly. (Figure 27)
Ridership on the San Joaquin, which provides service between Oakland
and Bakersfield via Stockton and Fresno, reported a decrease in
ridership for the first time since 1986. There was a monthly average
of 39,000 passengers served in 1991. (Figure 28)
Ridership on BART increased in 1991 for the fifth consecutive year
with ridership totaling more than 72 million. BART is a multi-county
intercity mass transit rail system providing service to passengers
along a 71-mile network in the San Francisco By Area. (Figure 29)
- 9 -
INTERCITY AND COMMUTER RAIL RIDERSHIP:
(Continued)
Ridership on Caltrain has been up in each of the past eight years.
In 1991, Caltrain served just over 7 million passengers. Caltrain
serves riders along the Peninsula between San Jose and San Francisco.
(Figure 30)
Ridership on the Santa Clara County Light Rail increased dramatically
in 1991, with completion of the final segment of the system. During
1991, there were nearly 5.4 million passengers served. This light

10 million riders. This 22-mile system serves passengers between
