Spokane Residents Drive Less Than West Siders

Thanks to Bike to Work Barb for sending me this info: Eastern Washington University's 'Community Indicators' newsletter says Spokane County residents drive fewer miles daily than our neighbors in Western Washington.

As of 2007, Spokane residents drove 18.2 miles a day while Seattle residents drove 18.7. Not a huge difference, but figure in the number of people driving on a daily basis and it adds up.

Here's a link to the article and a handy dandy graph of average total roadway daily vehicle miles traveled per capita.
