This article looks at primarily geographic determinants of how USA gets to work. Madison gets a mention in the 'bike to work' section. But my favourite part is this:
Education is another piece in the picture of how Americans get to work. People are less likely to drive to work alone and to use alternate modes in metros where more adults are college graduates. The share of adults with college degrees is negatively and significantly (-0.41) associated with driving to work alone, and positively and significantly associated with using transit (0.56), biking (0.62), walking (0.56), and working from home (0.50), although it is not statistically associated with carpooling. That is, while hardly anybody is biking to work in USA, having a college degree is a strong predictor of both biking and use of transit. That might be because cyclists and transit users are just smarter and have better data to make wise transportation choices, or it could be because jobs requiring college degrees are more likely to be found in denser, more bikeable and transit-friendly urban areas and compact college towns - I'm going with the former explain! https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2019/01/commuting-to-work-data-car-public-transit-bike/580507/ Also, super cool "dala floda web" font for the headline.
