Project Description: 

The phenomenon of very long commutes, or "super-commutes" has long interested the public, planners, elected officials, and researchers. US researchers define super-commuting as one-way commutes over 50 miles or 90 minutes. We draw on multiple data sources to examine th eprevalence, characteristics, and location of super-cmmouters in the greater Los Angeles region. We then use individual and household data to examine super-commuting and housing and transportation (H+T) expenditure, burdens in California.
