Living near urban centers allows residents to significantly cut commuting costs, especially in cities that emphasize walkability and public transit. A recent study ranks cities like Hoboken, NJ, and Cambridge, MA, as top spots for car-free commuting. The analysis, based on diverse data points, highlights how such environments enable a higher percentage of commuters to work without a car. However, many of these cities face aging transit systems and high living costs, with several on the list having median home prices exceeding $1 million.
"Where we live shapes how we live-and in the case of these top eco-friendly cities, we see that an environment oriented to walking, biking, and public transit means a greater share of residents can get to work without a car."
"Those who want to live more sustainably by forgoing a commute by car will find that places like Hoboken, NJ, and Cambridge, MA, make it easier to do so because they prioritize walkability, transit, and thoughtful design."
