Commuting in America III: The Third National Report on Commuting Patterns and Trends (A Summary)
A featured article in the November-December 2006 issue of TR News explores the latest in the series of decadal reviews of the nation’s commuting patterns that offers analyses and findings from tabulations of data from the 2000 census. The data emphasize that work travel is an economic and a social phenomenon, as well as a transportation issue. Commuting in America III identifies a new stage in commuting patterns, as the baby boom era recedes, and points out patterns to watch in the next decade—such as long-distance commuting and working from home.
