JTW trend 1990-2000 (FYI.) - ctpp-news

29 May 2002

Sorry, I was not clear with regard to the losses in transit share - I
only implied that transit was not able to capture its share of overall
growth in person trips in several metropolitan areas.  Was that a
surprise for planners?

On another note, commute time would have been even higher if it were not
for the declining transit share as a percentage.  And auto-ownership may
have peaked too - as the increases are not as apparent as from
1980-1990.

Here is the data I was looking at for both carpool & transit.  

Thanks.
