Time to Work: Commuting Times and Modes of Transportation of California Workers

This paper presents a study of commuting behavior in California and provides insight into how workers adapt to economic growth and development. It also looks at the interaction between public and private choices regarding transportation and housing. Using data from the decennial U.S. Census, the paper evaluates how commute times and choice of transportation have varied over time and location and among workers in California.
