Out of 56,000 who commute to work, 50,000 did so by car, with the overwhelming majority being single occupancy trips.

Over 60% of those 56,000 commute less than 29 minutes (including those who walk, take public transportation, or bike). With around 15,000 out of 56,000 saying that their commute is less than 15 minutes.

It's infuriating to know that driving has become the default for such short trips, and we still spend millions of dollars to make it easier to settle into this lazy pattern of transportation.

Fun stats from where I live, 25% of households have zero vehicles in my area. Nearer the centre of town it rises to the majority of households. The rich area of town most have multiple and only 2% don't have one.

Me as an urbanist: Awesome, go your town! Me as a communist: That last part is a tad sketch...
