Five Key Drivers of Commuting Choice
JOB REQUIREMENTS
COMMUTING DISTANCE
76% of Downtown Denver commuters whose employer requires them to have a car at work drive alone.
Commuters traveling five miles or less are 3x more likely to bike to work and 3.5x more likely to walk to work.
EMPLOYER BENEFITS
Commuters are nearly twice as likely to take transit when their employer fully or partially subsidizes their transit pass.

ABOUT THIS SURVEY
AGE & GENDER
PROXIMITY TO INFRASTRUCTURE
Downtown Denver commuters residing in the Stapleton neighborhood have the highest drive alone rate. This may change in 2016 with the opening of the Regional Transportation District’s University of Colorado A Line which will service Stapleton with a station at Central Park Boulevard.
Males under 30 are the most likely group to bike to work, women between 30 and 49 are the most likely group to drive alone and commuters over 50 are the most likely group to take transit.
