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 />Santa Clara Community Organization - Type of <br />Commute <br />to Work <br />Car, truck, or van: Drove Alone <br />79% <br />Car, truck, or van: Carpooled <br />9% <br />Bus or trolley bus <br />3% <br />Streetcar, subway, railroad or ferry <br />0% <br />Taxicab <br />0% <br />Motorcycle <br />0% <br />Bicycle I <br />1% <br />Walked <br />2% <br />Other means <br />0% <br />Worked at home <br />5% <br />Data source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2005 -09, Table 808301 <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.
