The years from 1950 to 1980 represented a period of extremely rapid growth in Texas. The trends documented in the report illustrate the impact of three main themes on the amount of commuter traffic that was handled by the roadway system in Texas metropolitan areas. The increase in suburban commuting, commuting by private automobiles and the increase in the number of people in the labor force were the three main themes of 'Commuting in America,' a report prepared by Alan Pisarski for the Eno Foundation for Transportation. The report used that document as a basis for analyzing the commuting patterns in Texas. In general, Texas urban areas also exhibited these trends. The volume includes data used in the preparation of the study for each Texas metropolitan area. The data are grouped into three appendices. Appendix A -- Basic Demographic Characteristics; Appendix B -- Commuter Flows and Patterns; Appendix C -- Commuter Mode and Travel Time.
