Figure 3.1.2 - Rates of Transit Commuting by City

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic all modes of commuting to work saw a large reduction. As of 2024, most cities have not seen their rate of transit commuting recover or increase compared to before the pandemic. While most cities have not fully recovered to their pre-pandemic rates, the vast majority have seen some recovery.

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted many commuting patterns. This table shows rates of transit commuting before and after the pandemic for cities.
All data comes from 1-year estimates from the B08006 table in the American Community Survey published by the Census Bureau. No 1-year estimate was published for 2020 due to disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic. The "Change After Covid" column compares 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 data. The "Compared to 2019" column compares 2024 and 2019. Cities included in this table are Census Designated Places with at least four 1-year estimates for the periods reported.
