Project description

This project aims to establish baselines for the housing plus transportation costs and environmental costs associated with supercommuting in Los Angeles and the Bay Area regions and use scenarios to address the high degree of variability in the number of days people commute, the vehicles they use, and their non-commute travel. The results will highlight the conditions under which housing savings outweigh the financial cost of long commutes. The study will also examine the possibility of mitigating the higher environmental and time costs linked to long commutes.
