This indicator tracks how San Diego residents get to work — by car, transit, bike, walking, or other means. Commute patterns are a useful window into broader transportation habits, and shifts away from solo car trips are a key measure of whether the city's efforts to build bike infrastructure, improve walkability, and support transit use are making a difference.
The City has set targets for the share of all trips made by sustainable modes by 2030 and 2035:
2030
- 19% walking
- 7% cycling
- 10% transit
2035
- 25% walking
- 10% cycling
- 15% transit
