That is the subject of surveys, coverning the entire country, undertaken by the Commerce Department and others as part of an overall study of the nations transportation problem. Involved, in that connection, is the question of the rate at which our road building program should be pursued, the need to conserve gas and the matter of automobile pollution. In Box Elder county, the figures show, a considerable proportion of the working population, 74.4 percent, are employed within the county. That is more than in some parts of the country and less than in others. The nature of each section, whether it is largely rural, urban, industrial or agricultural, and whether it is in close proximity to such areas, goes to determine where people work in relation to where they live. Nationally, the governments figures indicate, the proportion of people who live and work In the same county is 74.8 percent. In the Mountain States it is 82.2 percent and in the state of Utah, 82.5 percent. As for the means used in getting to work, the type of area is a major factor in determining the kind of transportation used. Public Transportation In the compact, highly-urbanize- d communities, it is noted, there are considerably more public transportation facilities available than in suburbanor rural areas. In Box Elder county, an estimated 78 percent of the working population travel to their jobs by car, either alone or with others. Another 14 percent work at home or are near enough to their places of employment to walk theres. Elsewhere in the United States, an average of 77.7 percent get to work bv car. Of the others, 7.4 percent walk, 5,5 percent use buses or streetcars, 3.5 percent work at home and 3.4 percent go by railroad, subway or taxi.
