To calculate air quality benefits of bicycling , first calculate the Daily VMT reduction . VMT Reduction = PD * Area * L * BMS , where PD = Population density , persons / mile ; Area = Project length * 1 mile radius , mile ; L = Round trip length , one-half of the project length times 2 daily trips , miles ; BMS = Bike mode share , %. Last , calculate the Daily Emission reductions for a pollutant . Ed = EFx * VMT Reduction , where Ed = Daily Emissions , grams / day ; EFx = Emission factor for pollutant x , grams / mile ; VMT = vehicle mile / day .
