The United States Census Bureau has just released a their study of America’s commuting habits for 2011. This is something I find particularly interesting, because before moving to the East Bay in California, I grew up in a not-so-little town in the San Joaquin Valley. What really amazed me when moving to the bay area was how much commuting was just a part of daily life. It’s what everyone did to get to work, commuting is apart of the lifestyle.
