I'm curious about where in the US automobile usage is highest and lowest, and more generally, what sorts of transportation is used in what areas. Does anyone know of a place to get these sorts of statistics? Most things I've found are either too general -- like about the US as a whole -- or about fatalities and crashes and the like.

I don't have the link handy...but it is under the US Census Bureau statistics.

Another likely place to look is the Bureau of Transportation Statistics:

I believe I found this through another forum member and would like to credit them, but I'm not certain who it was.

Here's a thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=310696) on this data we had a while back.

We had trouble using the links to make the website's program to work, so it might be best to do your own search on the census site.
