Re: [CTPP] more on journey to work and Millennials

Our study (emailed to CTPP last night) covers, and measures, all generations from the Lost Generation to Millennials.

It's like those of us in GenX don't even exist. I know we aren't as numerous as Boomers or Y's, but to leave us out generational discussions entirely paints an incomplete picture of issues like commuting habits. <Crank off> Nicholas J.

In these profiles, Baby Boomers are defined as those born between 1946 and 1964, and Millennials are defined as those born between 1983 and 2000. For the 2006-2008 ACS, many of the Millennials were not yet of working age. The geography is limited only to those Counties for which PUMA geography has matching boundaries. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/census_issues/american_community_survey/pr… I have seen some recent forecasts about declining gasoline prices, so we will see how this impacts the mode to work and auto ownership for younger workers in the near future.
