PittsburghTODAY: Slight dip in number of unlinked passenger trips

Slight dip in number of unlinked passenger trips

Dear Friend,

Between 2010 and 2011, the Pittsburgh region and the majority of benchmark regions, experienced a slight decrease in mass transit usage. In Pittsburgh, mass transit usage dropped from 38 annual unlinked passenger trips per capita in 2010 to 37 annual unlinked passenger trips per capita in 2011. Although Pittsburgh's transit usage trend is on the decline, it remains above the benchmark average.

Another transportation-related indicator shows a similar drop. In 2011, the Pittsburgh MSA recorded a total of 19 daily vehicular miles traveled per capita, a slight drop from the 2010 figure of 21 daily vehicular miles traveled per capita. Pittsburgh had the second-lowest rate in 2011; Philadelphia had the lowest rate with 18 daily vehicular miles traveled per capita.

Thanks for your interest,
