There were large negative changes in the proportion of people commuting to work by walking and bicycling between 2019 and 2022.

Figure 2.1.3 - Changes in Biking and Walking to Work

There were large negative changes in the proportion of people commuting to work by walking and bicycling between 2019 and 2022. For the selected time periods, only New Jersey saw the percentage of people both biking and walking to work increase.

2019 data is a 5-year estimate meaning it represents data collected for the 5 years of 2015-2019. 2022 data is a 1-year estimate only representing data collected in 2022. By omitting 2020-2021 data, this comparison excludes data from the height of the Covid pandemic. People can only report one mode as their primary mode of travel to work, so this data does not reflect occasional biking or walking commutes.
