Biking & Transit Soar In Washington, DC
• http://cleantechnica.com, Zachary ShahanWalking to work hasn’t grown the way biking has, but it enjoys a relatively stable 3.2 percent mode share regionally, with 11.5 percent within the city limits. Again, Arlington is the closest runner-up with 5.5 percent mode share.
Transit commuting was also way up (see chart above). It actually increased the most, from 11.8% mode share to 15.4%.
Working from home increased from 3.7% to 4.7%.
Carpooling decreased from 13% to 9.7%.
Driving alone dropped from 67.2% to 65.8%, a sobering look at how much room there still is for improvement.
