Overview
The Commuting in America (CIA) series of reports
describing travelers and their commutes to work began in April
1984, using census data to describe the emerging patterns of
commuting. The original intent of CIA was well stated by Frank
François, former Executive Director of the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the first
CIA Steering Committee Chair. As prefaced by François in the first
report, the goal of the CIA is "to serve as a common resource of
factual information upon which policy-makers can draw in shaping
transportation development actions and policies over the coming
years...It does not purport to reflect the policy positions of any
of the sponsoring organizations and should not be interpreted in
this manner." This initiative, Commuting in America 2013 (CIA
2013), continues to adhere to this original intent and
philosophy
