Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net

Driving’s Long Decline in Oregon | Streetsblog.net: "Call it peak driving, or the end of an era: Americans are driving less.

For 10 years now, Oregon motorists have been driving less. No one is quite sure why. The slump that began before the recession has continued into the period of economic and job growth, and no one seems to know exactly what’s causing it.

It may not surprise you that the state of Oregon was a bit precocious in this arena. Residents of the Beaver State changed their driving behavior before the rest of the nation and don’t seem poised to return to their old ways anytime soon"
