The map above shows the second most used transportation mode for commuting to work in the Saint Louis area census tracts, after cars. As the map demonstrates, for much of Saint Louis County and a few parts of the city, working from home (or telecommuting) is the most used mode for commuting after cars. In much of the city and North Saint Louis County, transit is the second most used. However, in the city’s central corridor, where transit is most abundant, the dominant mode of getting to work (after cars) is actually walking, not transit.
