I remember reading somewhere the average American drives something like 26 minutes(or thereabouts) one way to work each day but in this case I am specifically looking for a number of miles traveled one way. Any help with this question would be appreciated. Thanks Kaine McClelland Nebraska Dept. of Roads Transportation Planner 1400 Highway 2 Lincoln, NE 68509 phone: 402-479-3937
