It's ironic, since you started this thread with the suggestion that offering residents (of the downtown area) another alternative to owning a car (by citing the community cars there) was a bad idea, that you've focused on the Dane County census figures rather than the (much less auto and SOV oriented) figures for the City of Madison, and the even better figures for Madison's downtown area that Bill cited: City of Madison Drove alone - 65.7% Carpooled - 9.6% Public transportation (bus, taxi) - 7.1% Bicycled - 3.2% Walked - 10.7% Other - 0.4% Worked at home -3.1% Downtown/UW Campus Area (Highland Ave. to the west, Regent St./John Nolen Dr to the south, Blair St. to the east) Drove alone - 29.0% Carpooled - 4.9% Bus (excluding taxi) - 12.2% Bicycled or Walked - 50.5% Other (includes taxi, motorcyle) - 1.1% Worked at home - 2.1% Note: Data at small area (TAZ) level aggregated differently.
