A recent study from the Transportation Research Board came out with the newest national data on commuting. Here is a notable fact from the news release that could relate to suburbs like Eden Prairie.
“From 1990 to 2000, about 64 percent of the growth in commuting in metropolitan areas was from suburb to suburb, while the traditional commute from suburbs to a central city grew by only 14 percent. As more employers move out of cities to be closer to skilled suburban workers, the suburbs now account for the majority of job destinations.”
