| What is this
Indicator? This indicator shows the percentage of
all workers age 16 years and over who commute to work
using public transit. |
| Why this is
important? Transit can help bridge the spatial
divide between people and jobs, services, and training
opportunities. Public transportation is also beneficial because it
reduces fuel consumption, minimizes air pollution, and relieves
traffic congestion. |
| Technical Note:
According to the 2000 Census, 2.1% of Ohioans over 16 used
transit for work-related trips. In 2009, less than
.08% of Allen County residents over the age of 16 used transit for
work trips, while the mean is 1.05%. |
