TOD Residents Control Group
Figure 13. Methods of Transportation to Work Used by Survey Respondents. Note: Only TOD residents
were asked about bicycling. The number of respondents for TOD residents and control group are: Car 402,
322; Train 402, 321; Bus 402, 321; Car/Vanpool 400, 321; Walked 398, 321; Bicycle 402. * p <.05 *** p <

* Respondents were asked if they had ever used different modes of transportation to
get to work in the past 12 months.
* Among control group respondents, driving their own car was the most common
method of transportation (92.5 percent), followed by carpooling (12.1 percent).
Other methods were used by 10 percent or fewer of control group respondents. In
contrast, although personal cars were used by most TOD residents (89.1 percent),
alternative methods of transportation were used by more TOD residents than
control group respondents (See Figure 13).
* Twenty percent of TOD residents compared to only 8.7 percent of control group
respondents reported using a train to get to work in the past 12 months. TOD
residents from the DART area were most likely to use the train to get to work
(33.1 percent).
* Twenty percent of TOD residents also reported using the bus while only 4.0 percent
of control group respondents had used the bus in the past 12 months. TOD residents
from the Austin area were most likely to have used the bus (43.9 percent).51
