How we use transportation is important to our quality <br />of life and the quality of our neighborhood. How we <br />commute to work and how long it takes speaks to many <br />neighborhood development issues such as street size, <br />parking, the location of employment and the safety of our <br />streets. <br />Commute to Work <br />Commute to work refers to the principal mode of <br />travel that the worker usually used to get from home <br />to work. <br />People who used different means of transportation <br />on different days of the week were asked to specify <br />the one they used most often, that is, the greatest <br />number of days. This data may show workers using <br />modes of public transportation that are not available <br />in those areas (for example, subway or elevated riders <br />in a metropolitan area where there is no subway or <br />elevated service). This result is largely due to people <br />who worked during the week at a location that was <br />different from their usual place of work (such as <br />people away from home on business in an area where <br />subway service was available). What factors influence <br />commute choices in our neighborhood? <br />Commute to Work Time <br />River Road Community Organization - <br />Type of Commute to Work <br />Car, truck, or van: Drove Alone i 75% <br />I <br />Car, truck, or van: Carpooled _ 12% <br />Bus or trolley bus 4% <br />attar, subway, railroad or ferry 0% <br />Taxicab <br />0% <br />Motorcycle <br />0% <br />Bicycle <br />4% <br />Walked <br />1% <br />Other means <br />0% <br />Worked at home <br />4% <br />Data source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2005 -09, Table B08301 <br />Commute to work time data displays the number of people who commute from the home and <br />how long their trip to work lasts.
