| Abstract | The transportation pattern called reverse commute has probably been with us since the development of the earliest suburbs. The term describes the work trip of a resident of the traditional core of the city who is forced to commute "outward" to a job, that is, away from the destination toward which most people are travelling, the downtown. Of course, for decades many local transit companies routinely ran bus routes to take domestics to jobs in homes in the suburbs (and some still do) but reverse commuting did not become a policy concern until it 1) was indicted as part of the ghetto unemployment problem, and 2) more recently, became such an important and growing part of urban traffic flows. |
