Car Ownership Rates In The Bay Area
10 November 2005 - 10:00am
Rural landscape and lack of viable public transportation options is blamed for high car ownership rates.
"Sonoma County is tops in the Bay Area for number of registered vehicles per capita. The total includes any vehicle registered with the state Department of Motor Vehicles, including trucks, trailers and cars used for business. Statewide, Sonoma County ranks 26th.... nearly one for every man, woman and child living here.
The county's rural landscape with almost 1,400 miles of roads, lots of parking in its far-flung nine cities and a patchwork of public transportation are all factors in the reliance on cars."
