Travel Time <br />Table 12-3 identifies the mode of transportation that Ramsey residents use to <br />access their jobs. A majority of residents travel to work alone and access <br />employment by car, truck or van. However, nearly 10 percent of residents <br />carpool to work, five percent work from home and less two percent took public <br />transportation. <br />Table 12-3: Means of Transportation to Work, 2000 <br />Means of Transportation <br />.bbs per <br />I-busehold <br />Fridley <br />2.18 <br />Anoka <br />1.84 <br />Soring Lake Park <br />1.48 <br />Coon RAci ds <br />1.05 <br />Blaine <br />0.99 <br />R9msey <br />0.68 <br />Haim Lake <br />0.67 <br />Charrplin <br />0.49 <br />Andover <br />0.44 <br />Dayton <br />0.40 <br />Burns <br />0.24 <br />Oak G-ove <br />0.23 <br />Source: Metropolitan Council <br />6.

Extremely long commutes are all too common due to <br />the poor highway access to the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtown areas. Table <br />12-4 demonstrates the travel time to work for workers. <br />City ofRamsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan Page 12-7 <br />
