For Madison as a whole, 3 percent. If you take out "worked at home" from the total to get only people who traveled, it's 4 percent. (Figured this way, bike-ped together is 13 percent). There are pretty big MOEs here, given the one-year sample, but this is pretty consistent with the 3-year average 2005-7:

I would guess that the percentage is considerably higher in Madison, especially on the Isthmus and near West Side.
