Commuting modes

How adults commute to work, by mode: public transit, biking, walking, or private vehicles. People's means of transportation to work can shed light on transportation availability, choices, traffic levels, and safety.

Walkability index

This score summarizes features that promote walking, including density of residences, intersections, subway stops, and retail area. Higher scores indicate greater walkability. Neighborhoods range from -4.0 to 9.4, with zero as an approximate NYC average. This indicator excludes some factors that may impact access and walkability, like maintenance, ADA access, neighborhood safety, and street trees.

Recent walking

Adults reporting walking for transportation in the last 7 days (from when they were surveyed)

Walking or biking for transportation

Adults reporting walking or biking for transportation in the last 30 days (from when they were surveyed). Regularly walking or biking for transportation is good for you.

Recent biking

Adults reporting biking for transportation in the last 7 days (from when they were surveyed).

Monthly bicycle use

Adults reporting having ridden a bicycle at least once a month in the past year.

Average Citi Bike availability

The average number of Citi Bikes available to rent per each area between 7am-7pm. Biking bridges gaps in existing public transportation systems and is a great way to exercise. Neighborhoods with lower Citi Bike availability have limited access to this beneficial public resource.

Citi Bike stations

Biking bridges gaps in existing public transportation systems and is a great way to exercise. Neighborhoods with fewer Citi Bike stations have limited access to this beneficial public resource. Neighborhoods with relatively few docks per station may also have limited access to bikes even if they have many stations. The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) suggests that there should be 28 stations per square mile and one station every 1000 feet.

Recent driving

Adults reporting driving in the last 30 days (from when they were surveyed).

Recent messaging while driving

Adults reporting messaging while driving in the past 30 days (from when they were surveyed).

Recent speeding

Adults reporting speeding while driving in the past 30 days (from when they were surveyed).
