Workers commuting by car, truck or van — Othello

2,739 of 3,174 in the relevant ACS survey universe (86.3%). Among 52 source-qualified place communities in Washington with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 76.9%.

Compare a deductible you could fund with rental-transport limits and your actual commute; the survey does not measure crashes or driving miles.
