FROM ELAINE MURAKAMI (FHWA), and NANDA SRINIVASAN
 
Attached is some analysis and data based on the 2000 Census data for 49 large MSAs (Population > 1 million).  The national average for travel time was 25.5 minutes, up about 3 minutes from 22.4 minutes in 1990.
 
Nationally, drove alone increased from 73.2 to 75.7.  Transit declined from 5.3% to 4.7%.  Carpooling declined from 13.4 (1990) to 12.2 (2000).
 
Thank you!
