Americans drive to work mostly alone in 2000 census
The 2000 census shows about 76 percent of workers 16 and older drive alone to work, up from 64 percent twenty years earlier and 73 percent in 1990. Gas prices, urban sprawl, and longer suburban commutes contribute, while carpooling and public transit remain limited. Washington DC and Oregon see shifts, and projects like Denver's I-25 expansion reflect pressure on roads.
