Vehicle Availability
Vehicle availability per household is also an indication of transit dependence. Limited access to a private
vehicle entails that there is dependence on other modes of transportation such as carpooling, public
transit, bicycle, or other method of travel. According to the U.S. Census, 31.8% of households in the San
Bernardino Valley only have access to one vehicle, while 8.3% do not have access to a vehicle (Figure 4-
5). Of the fifteen cities, San Bernardino has the highest rate of households without access to an
automobile (15.2%), followed by Loma Linda (11.2%) and Colton (10.8%).
