Early To Bed, Early To Commute

"From 1990 to 2000, the census reported, 18 percent more Marylanders left their homes between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. to go to work...Transportation planners say longer commutes are partly a product of the continued migration from urban centers and nearby suburbs to outlying areas. Those far-flung places rarely have extensive mass transit and often have roads bursting beyond capacity.Jobs often follow people out of big cities, but many new office parks and suburban job centers can be reached only by car."
