Commute Times <br />Commute times for Redwood City’s employed <br />individuals are increasing. The percent of the <br />population with a one-way commute in excess <br />of 30 minutes has reached its highest level since <br />data were made available in 2005. Some 40% <br />of workers have commutes in excess of 30 min- <br />utes. It may well have been higher during the <br />dot.com era, but data for that time period is not <br />readily available. <br />The proportion of workers with 90 minute com- <br />mutes is very low by regional standards. Al- <br />though it is increasing, it is increasing at a much <br />slower pace than in the Bay Area as a whole <br />and remains less than one-third of the employed <br />population that it is for the Bay Area (1.3% vs <br />4.1%). <br />Figure 35:Percent of Employed Population <br />With Commutes of More than 30 Minutes <br />Figure 36:Percent of Employed Population <br />With Commutes of More than 90 Minutes <br />The picture is different for those commuting into <br />Redwood City to work. Commutes of both 30+ <br />minutes and 90+ minutes have been increasing <br />for these workers. Percentages were on a par <br />with the Bay Area as a whole in 2015. The pro- <br />portion with 30+ minute commutes was nearly <br />49% in Redwood City and just over 49% for the <br />Bay Area. The proportion of workers with com- <br />mutes in excess of 90 minutes was over 5% in <br />both regions and appears poised to continue in- <br />creasing. <br />Figure 37:Percent of Local Employees With <br />Commutes of More than 30 Minutes <br />Figure 38:Percent of Local Employees With <br />Commutes of More than 90 Minutes <br />21
