Talk:Transportation in New York City

I was looking for the source of the information contained in the image comparing the % of workers using Public Transportation in major U.S. Cities in the "Mass transit use and car ownership" section (see: commons:File:USCommutePatterns2006(2).png ) ... but didn't see any information in the image itself or referenced in the description for the image. Does anyone know the source? (Obviously, I'm concerned about WP:CITE and WP:V -- but I was genuinely curious about how the stats had changed since 2006 and was thinking about making an updated version, thus my curiosity about the source of the data...)

The source is the US Census American Community Survey. I can work on updating it with the latest data and making sure it is correctly sourced. All US government data is open sourced so there are no copyright issues. See this table of updated data from 2019 [https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2021/acs/acs-48.pdf][https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/geographic-comparison-tables/]

Here is the updated graphic. I will update the articles that contain it. File:Commute patterns.png

In the External links section, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council link has a archive link, date being October 18, 2009, at the Wayback Machine. Can I remove this archive link or is this archive important to keep. It seems to be just an old version of the website, so I say its reasonable to remove this link. 68.173.170.185 (talk) 21:13, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
