[quote=Anonymous]Given how it kept coming up in other threads, I'm somewhat surprised that no one has mentioned that the MWCOG has updated their commuting survey for 2025, and this time they provided a dashboard to play with.

This version reflects the dramatic drop in TW and return to pre-pandemic commuting patterns, most controversially showing Bike commuting rebounding to 4% after a trough of 2% in 2022. It seems that all that CABI data was a good leading indicator after all.

Most interestingly, is that when you filter down to just DC itself, you can see why bike lanes are being built. More than 28,000 district residents commute primarily by bike/scooter, compared to 76,000 who drive alone. Bicycle commuting is booming among district residents, the very people who pay for and vote on these matters.

Obviously the split in allocated space and funding will move to reflect the wants and needs of district residents. I can see a day when more district residents commute by bike than drive alone. The change could happen quick with the right infrastructure expenditures.
