For More Information

Journey to Work information is compiled by the U. S. Census Bureau using data derived from the long form questionnaire administered during the decennial Census of Population. The Journey to Work tables help answer questions such as where workers live and how they commute to work. The information also serves a variety of transportation planning related purposes, including use in connection with the implementation of the City's Parking and Transportation Demand Management (PTDM) Ordinance.
