One item that we can't see right now from the Census profiles is
differences by gender in the JTW. Historically women have had shorter
distance and time commutes than men. Women were more likely to take
jobs closer to home and took care of children and other household
responsiblities. I am wondering if some of the increase in overall
travel times might be an indication that women are making employment
location choices more similarly to men. We'll have to wait for CTPP
to do this analysis!
