Hi, Kaine

As other  people noted, you can use NHTS 2008 for your purpose.  There is 
a variable called "TRPMILES", which is travel distance in miles.  Good 
luck!

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
