Bay Area Commuters by Means of Transportation to Work

1980 & 1990 Decennial Censuses

Copied from the MTC web site (in yellow). For commuters from a specific county to a specific county (even if same county), see the original table (it was too big for this page). This table summarizes total commuters originating in each Bay Area County and arriving in each Bay Area County, plus the average for all counties on the bottom yellow line. Modern Transit Society [MTS] calculations are below that in blue color.

Note: the percentage figures came out in decimal format in the copying. The original is MTC Working Paper 5 from their web site, Table23.XLS (zipped, exel, win file).
