About 7 in 10 Americans drive alone to work, a trend exacerbated by insufficient job accessibility through walking or cycling compared to European cities.
Despite a brief decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, driving alone continues to be the predominant commuting method in the U.S., exceeding that of countries like Germany and China.
The prevalence of solo commuting has significant consequences, leading not only to physical inactivity but also to increased stress, anxiety, and severe air quality issues.
In 2023, Americans wasted an average of 42 hours in traffic annually, highlighting how congested roads due to solo driving habits cost valuable time.
