The American Community Survey, conducted from 2005 to 2009, shows that 59 percent of Charlottesville residents drive by themselves to work, as well as 77 percent of Albemarle workers.
On a related note, I’ve been looking for updated Journey to Work data for a couple years now, but haven’t been able to locate it anywhere. The most recent datasets are from 2000, and I have a feeling that human settlement and commuting patterns have shifted since then.

This is a different but similar issue… I would be very interested to know how many c’ville homeowners commute to northern va each week. I do, and I know of at least two others, one of which is at the same company as I am.

Thank you for stopping by. I know several people who do and have seen stories about this over the past … I’ll see what data I can find, both hard and anecdotal, to sort it out.
