This report examines transportation in California: where we are today, how we got here, and where we might be headed. We begin with facts on travel and transportation systems in California today. The vast majority of personal travel is by car across all socio-economic groups, and commercial travel is by truck. Public transit plays an important role in the biggest cities but a small one elsewhere; walking is the most popular way to get around outside of a car or truck. Californians are taking fewer trips overall, though reduced vehicle travel for personal trips is more than offset by increases in commercial travel and deliveries.
