Transportation Geography of the United States 2024 - back

Figure

An image showing the back side of the Bureau of Transportation Statistic’s annual Transportation Geography of the U.S. 2024 edition. The image features four graphics: a choropleth map showing extreme commuters by U.S. counties with associated margins of error; a transportation noise map of the cities of Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago; a choropleth map showing registered electric vehicles per charging station locations by state; and a map of showing the airport origin-destination pairs with more than 1 m

Notes:

The back side of our 2-sided print map, Transportation Geography of the U.S. 2024, includes visualizations of:

  • Extreme Commuters (90 Minute or Longer Travel Time to Work) by County of Residence;
  • Electric Vehicles Registration per Charging Station Locations by State;
  • Airport Origin-Destination Pairs with more than 1 million Passengers—August 2022 through July 2023; and
  • National Transportation Noise Map: Select Cities.

Extreme Commuters (90 Minute or Longer Travel Time to Work) by County of Residence

NOTES: Extreme commuters are defined by the U.S Census Bureau as workers who travel 90 minutes or more to work, one way. Counties designated as low to medium reliability for their population estimates possess coefficients of variation of 12% or higher whereas high reliability counties possess lower than 12% coefficients of variation for their population estimates and associated margins of error.

Electric Vehicles Registration per Charging Station Locations by State

NOTES: State electric charging location totals include legacy chargers but do not include residential electric vehicle charging infrastructure, temporarily unavailable stations, or planned, but not available stations.

Airport Origin-Destination Pairs with more than 1 million Passengers—August 2022 through July 2023

NOTES: Origin-destination airport route pairs passenger totals are bidirectional.

National Transportation Noise Map: Select Cities

NOTES: The National Transportation Noise Map and associated data were developed for national level analysis and includes simplified noise modeling. It is intended for the tracking of trends and should not be used to evaluate noise levels in individual locations and/or at specific times.
