    In Whatcom County about 15% of the daily travel is work related. About 80% drive alone to work and about 10% either use a bike or walk to work. The longest travel activity during the day is work related. This could be going to meetings to another county or within the community.

    If you want additional information regarding travel behavior in the county then refer to the North Sound Household Travel Survey.

    Congestion on the roadways typically occur during the time frame that people need to go to work and coming back home from work. The peak travel in Whatcom County happens around 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

    Have you considered work flex schedules that allow you travel to and from work during the off peak time frames? Also, does your employer allow telecommuting at least one day a week?
