Workers were generally satisfied with services provided by MDOT and felt that transportation did not limit their job opportunities, but those living in urban and suburban areas were more satisfied than those in rural areas.

Commute distances increased—the proportion of workers traveling > 25 miles one way ⬆️ from 12% in 2022 to 20% in 2023, while those traveling > 50 miles increased from 1% to 7%. This was consistent w/ remote workers living farther from their jobs, shifting back to hybrid/in-person

Cars cont'd to dominate (69% of commutes). 11% were by bus or rail & 17% were displaced by telecommuting. Hybrid workers used rail, including MARC & Metro, at a notably higher rate (7%) than their fully in-person counterparts (3%), contributing to a mid-week peak in rail demand.
