Oops, sorry, I misread what you are looking for, I believe the NHTS collects miles traveled, but the ACS does not.

It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you already have.

Subject: [CTPP] information on average commuter travel time in the U.S.

Everyone-

I am interested to find out if anyone has any valid information in regards to the average amount of miles traveled one way by commuters in the U.S. ? I remember reading somewhere the average American drives something like 26 minutes(or thereabouts) one way to work each day but in this case I am specifically looking for a number of miles traveled one way.

Any help with this question would be appreciated.

Thanks
