Tidbit Tuesday | Transportation Mode-Split

Every Tuesday, the Mayor’s Office of Transportation & Utilities (MOTU) posts a map or graphic that tells a story about transportation or utilities in the City of Brotherly Love.

This week we explored the breakdown of the different modes that Philadelphians use to get to work and how this compares to the country as a whole.  Philadelphians walk, bike, and take public transit to work at a higher rate than the entire country, while Americans as a whole drive more to work than Philadelphians.
