Just in time for today’s World Car Free Day, Forbes magazine culled some statistics about the top 10 “cleanest commutes” in the U.S based on three criteria: mass transit use, carpooling, and driving alone.
Chicago makes the list, but not by much, sitting at #9 just above LA. (On mass transit use alone, we’re a little better, at #5, and 11.3% of using transit for our commutes.) Overall, San Francisco ranks #1.
I have no illusions that Carless in Chicago alone will make a big dent in these statistics, but perhaps it will help move the needle a little. So watch out, Portland and Boston (tied for #7); we’re coming for you.
