Solo Drivers with a Long Commute

Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator measures the proportion of commuters who drive alone to work and commute for more than 30 minutes.

Why is this important?

Workers who drive alone to work contribute to traffic congestion and air pollution. The sedentary habit of driving to work has been associated with decreased levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory health, and increased BMI and hypertension. Stress-inducing traffic congestion may further exacerbate these negative health effects. Alternatives to driving alone–carpooling, taking public transportation, and biking–can help to reduce the number of commuters who drive alone to work each day.
