Bill or others, Do you have the percentage of commuters into Madison/Dane County from outside the county? I know this number is readily available. I think Mike is correct that most people from outside the county are not walking or bicycling, but even if we added all the non-county residents into the Dane County totals as "Drove alone" and "Carpooled," I don't think it would change the numbers that much. Unless 40% or more of all commuters are from outside the county, I think I get Mike's bike (%age needed to water down the 1.7% figure to less than 1.0%).
