Extreme Commuting
3.4 million Americans who endure a daily "extreme commute" are the fastest growing segment of commuters.
A change in the way we commute is expected in the near future as more Americans move farther from their workplaces. 3.4 million Americans who endure a daily "extreme commute" of 90 minutes or more each way to work. They're among the fastest-growing segment of commuters, according to a Census study, Journey to Work, released in March. Their commute times are more than triple the national average of 25.5 minutes each way.
