There have been significant changes over the past two decades in Texas commuting patterns. The expansion and changing natural of the workforce has resulted in an increase in commute trips and vehicle ownership. The growth in suburban and exurban employment and residential development has further changed commuting patterns. In many urban areas, the traditional work trip from the suburbs to downtown has been replaced by suburbs to suburb commutes. More people are also choosing to live in smaller communities or rural areas and are driving longer distances to their places of employment. These trends, that are expected to continue, have major implications for traffic congestion, the environment, the quality of life, and transportation investments. Obtaining a better understanding of these patterns and trends is critical for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and other groups responsible for maintaining all aspects of the transportation system.
