Graph: How Americans Commute to Work

LongCommute.com is designed solely for the millions of hard working individuals that commute to their job every day. There are over 128,000,000 workers in the United States and an amazing 76% of those workers are driving alone to work.

Over the past 5 decades this number has steadily increased and shows no sign of slowing down. Only 14% of workers commute less than 10 minutes one way and as home prices continue to rise in major metropolitan areas, workers are moving further away causing the average commute times to rise above the national average of 25.5 minutes each way.
