Commute to Work On average, Natick residents have a slightly longer commute to work, at 28.6 minutes, than their counterparts in Middlesex County and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Natick, overall, is very similar to Middlesex County and Massachusetts in commute times, with approximately 24% of commutes less than 15 minutes, and the highest percentage of commutes between 15 and 30 minutes. This comparison is illustrated in Table 18 below. Table 18 TRAVEL TIME TO WORK Natick Middlesex County Massachusetts Percent Percent Percent Less than 15 minutes 23.7% 22.6% 25.9% 15 - 30 minutes 29.5% 32.7% 33.0% 30 - 45 minutes 24.0% 25.3% 21.9% 45 - 60 Minutes 12.5% 10.9% 9.4% 60 or more minutes 10.4% 8.6% 9.9% Mean travel time to work (minutes) 28.6 27.7 27.3 Source: 2006-2010 ACS It should be noted that 84% of workers drive alone to work, and only 7.2% take public transportation. This at least partially reflects the limited public transportation options available in Natick. The MBTA commuter rail is the only direct option for persons living in Natick and working in Boston to take public transit to work, however there is a bus to the Green Line in Newton. In addition, approximately 58% of all employed workers aged 16 and older have at least two vehicles available, which is higher than Middlesex County and Massachusetts at 54% and 52%, respectively, see figure 2 below. 31 | P a g e L D S C o n s u l t i n g G r o u p , L L C
