Model specified a Poisson distribution of the outcome with a log transformed VMT as population offset. Robust SEs were specified for a more conservative estimate of coefficients. Model includes linear time, average daily precipitation and average daily highest recorded temperature. Comparison during post-stay-at-home order (order effective in Connecticut on 23 March 2020). VMT, vehicle miles travelled.
Bold Values note statistical significance <=0.05.
