Thanks for posting this and all the other stats you've posted on the board lately. Very interesting!

With the public transit numbers, DC is now at around 54% commuter share for public transit/bike/walking which is still 21% from the 2030 goal of having 75% commute by public transit/bike/walking. I don't know if we will make it. That's a huge increase. I guess if most of the new residents don't drive over the next decade, we may come close. That would push us past NYC though which is very hard to do.

My round-trip commute between my flat and office in Pittsburgh is 4.8 miles, and I do it on foot! Very walkable city!

My initial guesses without opening the thread were correct... 11-20 got me all mixed up.

Pretty surprising that CO Springs is one of the biggest losers here while Denver is one of the biggest gainers... I bet a fair amount has to do with Denver building apartments in the downtown ring while CO Springs continues to build McMansions on the outer edge of town.

And CO Springs has done an absolutely terrible job of building bike paths in what should be one of the most bikable climates in the US. But CO Springs has done a terrible job building anything infrastructure related so they can keep their tax rates real low. They may be improving here, but they have a long way to go.
