The Auto Care Association, in partnership with Arity, announced the latest addition of trackable industry data to the TrendLens data platform. Traffic volume and total miles driven are a leading driver of market performance. With Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled, the Auto Care Association is now able to provide access to this data eight weeks faster than the United States Department of Transportation (DOT)’s reporting schedule.
In addition to the DOT’s monthly VMT data, Auto Care Association members now have access to Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled data collected from more than 23 million active consumer connections by Arity—exclusively through the TrendLens platform. With access to Arity’s Vehicle Miles Traveled, TrendLens users can now quickly gauge prior month and prior week miles traveled data not only weeks sooner but more frequently than DOT data. Beginning Feb. 15, 2021, Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled will be accessible on a weekly basis to all Auto Care Association members at no charge during the “Market View” 60-day trial period.

With access to more than 40 crucial economic and industry data categories, including Arity Vehicle Miles Traveled, TrendLens makes identifying the changes in driving behavior easier, faster and more reliable than ever.
