This is the Worst City in America for Commuters, According to Data
March 30, 2022 - Commuting easily ranks as one of the least enjoyable parts of a person's day. A 2017 study by the University of the West of England found adding 20 minutes to a person's commute had the same effect on job satisfaction as taking a 19% pay cut.
Commuters encounter more physical health problems, and low-income commuters are less likely to gain financial stability—among a host of other negative impacts. And yet, America’s commutes keep getting longer as people move farther away from the office, according to census data.
Think you have a long trip to work? Read on to compare it against the worst commutes in the country, and see which California city beat out New York City, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles for the top spot.
Homecoming!
The FMW team has not attended any industry gathering since COVID dominated our lives and we are super excited to see old friends and meet new ones at NAFA I&E next week in Columbus. We are so looking forward to interviewing a host of fleet services providers and fleet management professionals.
Speaking of old friends, it is a pleasure to see Will O’Connor talking about the City of Austin’s EV initiatives. And we welcome back Mike Quimby to these pages. In his article Material Handling Equipment – The Next Frontier of Fleet Management, Mike offers us the simple path to transformation in managing this vital fleet.
See you in Columbus!
