Commuting in America III examines current commuting patterns in light of longstanding trends and emerging factors that affect commuting every day. The Census Bureau's 2000 decennial census and its predecessor long-form surveys in the 1990, 1980, 1970, and 1960 decennial censuses form the primary information source for this and the two previous Commuting in America reports. Such detailed, geographically comprehensive data on commuting patterns provide uniform nationwide demographic information associated with work travel and are consistent with most other national sources. One common finding in the 20-year Commuting in America series is that the nature of commuting continues to evolve and to challenge us.
