Lowest transit commuters by state

Workers who commute by public transit.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Share of workers age 16+ whose usual trip to work uses public transportation, excluding taxicab. This describes regular commuting patterns, not whether a route is nearby, frequent, affordable, or useful for every trip.
