Gas goes up driving goes down
Yeah! Americans are changing the way they get from place to place!! We have curtailed our driving at a historic rate this year.
The Department of Transportation said figures from March 2008 show the steepest decrease in driving ever recorded.
Compared with March last year, Americans drove an estimated 4.3 percent less — that’s 11 billion fewer miles. According to DOT’s Federal Highway Administration, it’s “the sharpest yearly drop for any month in FHWA history.” Records have been kept since 1942.
The American Public Transportation Association report says that Americans took 2.6 billion trips on all modes of public transportation, including subways and buses, in the first three months of 2008, a 3.3 percent increase, or almost 85 million more trips than in the same period last year.
