Only 8? I'd figure we'd rank higher on the list.

Seriously, Dallas/Ft. Worth didn't make the list?!?  How is that even possible?  Folks here go through more gas sitting in traffic idling than they do driving 30 miles.

Not surprising at all. This is one list I agree with. Were a huge, spiralled city with poor public transportation. Vehicles are a must here.

Really surprised that we beat the Inland Empire region. Gas prices are much higher in California than here and many, many people there have lengthy commutes.

Actually, I wouldn't have been surprised if we were higher.

Hopefully our mobility plan will impact this score in the future.
