Description

Press release from the City of Cambridge: March 23, 2021 The Community Development Department recently issued a new report updating our prior publications about the journey to work for both residents and workers. The report Moving Forward: Cambridge's Journey to Work 2020 analyses American Community Survey data on commuting, which has been published in the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) together with Local Employer Households Dynamics (LEHD) data collected as part of the unemployment insurance program. The report has been redesigned from top to bottom and expanded to include profiles of workers in each of the City's major employment centers. Moving Forward summarizes the commuting patterns among three groups of workers - the Labor Force, which includes all Cambridge residents who work, the Workforce, which includes all persons who work in Cambridge, regardless of place of residence and the Resident Workforce, which includes all persons who both live and work in Cambridge. The report is based on data collected into the 2012 - 2016 Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP) data set, the most recent complete analysis of the national transportation data collected by the U. S. Census Bureau, and the 2017 Local Employer Household Dynamics (LEHD) data set. Comparative information is also provided from the 2000 and 2006 - 2010 Journey to Work data sets.
