In Nebraska, 80 percent of all workers — or approximately 698,680 people — drive to work alone, according to the 2000 Census. Their average commute time is 18 minutes. Only 7,837 people — less than one percent — said they use "other means" of transportation.

In Iowa, a smaller percentage (78.6) of people say they drive to work alone. However, the percentage of commuters using other means was nearly the same: less than one percent (13,163 out of 1.4 million workers). Average commute time was nearly identical to Nebraska: 18.5 minutes. The national average is 25.5 minutes.
