Description

Definition
This variable reports how many people (including the respondent) usually rode to work in the vehicle that the respondent took to work during the previous week. This excludes persons who drove or rode in the same vehicle to school, or who returned home after dropping off workers, or who rode to any other non-work location. A worker who rode to work with one or more other people, but who was the only worker in the vehicle, was counted as driving alone.
Universe
United States 2005: Persons whose mean of transportation is an auto, truck or van [discrepancies: none]
