How Decatur Gets To Work
Decatur Metro | May 23, 2010From the 2010 Decatur Citizen Survey…
During a typical week, how many days do you commute to work (for the longest distance of your commute) in each of the ways listed below?
[Percentage represents "Percent of days mode used"]
- Motorized vehicle (e.g. car, truck, van, motorcycle, etc…) by myself – 65%
- Motorized vehicle (e.g. car, truck, van, motorcycle, etc…) with other children or adults – 8%
- Bus, rail, subway or other public transportation – 6%
- Walk – 6%
- Bicycle – 2%
- Work at home – 12%
- Other – 0%
In 2008, the % of commuters driving alone was also 65%, while public transportation came in at 8%, and bicycling registered at 1%. As for children driving other children to work (I believe it should be phrased “with children or other adults”), it’s grown 2% in two years.
All to say, nothing’s really changed in two years.
