Abstract:

Immigration has been a major factor in U.S. population growth, particularly in high immigrant-receiving states such as California, New York, Texas, Florida, and Illinois. This population growth has many urban policy and planning impacts with transportation topping the list. The first section of the report contains compositional profiles of the total population and of full-time workers who are immigrants, evaluating how these numbers have changed from 1990 to 2000. It also identifies the share of public transit commuters and the share of single-occupancy commuters that are comprised of immigrants, analyzing how these shares may have increased from 1990 to 2000. In the second section, multinomial logistic regression models are estimated that evaluate immigration effects net of income effects. Models are estimated separately for Los Angeles and New York, locales that also present very different native-born norms of commuting. The most recently arrived immigrants are those most likely to use public transit to commute to work.
