A new article outlines Seattle also posting the largest decline in car commuting from 2010 to 2018 per census numbers...though again, the number of car commuters actually grew because the population and worker counts both grew more.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...walking-surge/

I'll say it again...our walking and transit number increases are about including buses in transit improvements, as well as infill that's centered in transit-served nodes vs. dispersed all over.

Numbers 2010 vs. 2018:
--Drive alone: 53.3 to 44.4%
--Transit: 18.2 to 23.1%
--Walk: 8.6 to 12.1%
--Work at home: 6.6 to 7.1%
--Carpool: 8.6 to 6.9%
--Bike: 3.6 to 3.8%
--Taxi, motorcyle, other: 1.1 to 1.9%
