TOPIC II: DEMOGRAPHICS OF ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION COMMUTERS

The Benchmarking Report began looking at over- or under-representation of people of color and low-income commuters among those who walk to work or take transit to work in 2016.

The Benchmarking Report has not typically reported demographics on bicycling to work because demographic data on who rides a bicycle to work is not available in tabular data at the city level. The Census Bureau produced some national demographics data about who bikes to work in 2014. 23 For national demographic data, please see Section 1.2 Nation: Demographics of Active Transportation.
