Commuting

Wendell Cox has summarized the latest ACS report on commuting in America.  He shows three years of data for the major travel modes, 2000, 2010 and 2011.  Skip the one-year change and look at the eleven-year comparisons.  The biggest loser has been car/vanpooling (all those diamond lanes have not helped).  Bicycling is up, but from a very small base.

The biggest numerical gains are in drive-alone. "Getting people out their cars" continues to be a challenge.
Work-at-home is also up appreciably.  That did not cost the public a lot in new infrastructure.  No worries over "who built that."
