Workers who Bike to Work

This indicator shows the percentage of workers aged 16 years and over who get to work by bicycling.
Why is this important?
Active commuting methods, such as biking, are good for workers' health as well as their environment. Numerous studies have found that bicycling to school or work increases cardiorespiratory fitness, decreases odds of being overweight or obese, and improves mental health. Alternative transportation also reduces traffic congestion and improves air quality by reducing the number of motor vehicles on the road. Residents can be encouraged to bike to work with transportation enhancements that increase safety and convenience for bicycle commuters, such as bike lanes and secure bike parking facilities.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes.
The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
