  The report discusses characteristics of home-to-work travel by various modes of transportation and by population size-group of the workers' place of residence. The first part of the report presents characteristics of the worker by place of residence and place of employment, and the characteristics of travel such as distance, time, daily home-to-work trips, miles of travel and trip lengths by mode and by place of residence. The second part of the report discusses the modes of transportation used by workers and how income, occupation and age of workers affect choice of transportation mode. The third part of the report stresses the role of the automobile, as the predominant mode of home-to-work travel.
