July 10, 2023 - According to a recent Brookings Institution report, the average Tampa Bay metro area household traveled 31,110 miles across all transportation methods in 2022. While that is slightly above the national average, it is significantly less than the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro area, at 36,598 miles. The analysis highlighted how living closer to multiple activity centers can save the average resident around $1,000 in annual transportation costs and reduce their carbon dioxide output by 2,455 to 3,020 pounds.
