There was a slight increase in single- <br />occupancy vehicles in the County between 1990 and 2000, and the number of persons <br />car-pooling over this period also declined slightly. Transit and bicycle use has been <br />stable in the County. More workers worked from home in 2000 than in 1990, a trend <br />that is likely to continue.
