Individuals, communities, and the local economy benefit from public transportation systems through decreased environmental impacts, increased fuel efficiency, and reduced traffic congestion. The use of public transportation may be impacted by elements such as changes in fuel costs, shifts in demographics, and the rise of alternatives such as rideshare services. 

Data is collected from the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-Year Estimates – Data table: Commuting Characteristics by Sex. For further information about the American Community Survey (ACS) please see the Source tab.

There are many external factors that contribute to changes in this measure.  Therefore, the City is seeking to increase the use of public transportation above current levels.

The data for this indicator is obtained from the American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates.  The American Community Survey (ACS) is administered by the United States Census Bureau. It is an ongoing survey that provides data annually. This information is used by communities, state governments, and federal programs to make decisions. The 1-Year Estimate data provides 12 months of collected data from areas with populations over 65,000 and represents the most current data available.

There is an approximate one-year delay for the availability of ACS data.
