Description

More people in Seattle are driving to work alone. Solo driving is trending upward for the first time in a decade. That’s according to new data from Commute Seattle. The non-profit surveyed more than 75,000 workers about their commutes, and how transit could work better for them. Executive Director Alex Hudson joins us to break down the commuting trends in Seattle.
