Here' a brief reminder to your readers. In 1990, average commute times for people in-<BR/>Frasyer: 13 minutes<BR/>Whitehaven: 13 minutes<BR/>Zip codes in the 240 beltway: 10 minutes<BR/>In 2000-<BR/>Frayser: 23 minutes<BR/>Whitehaven: 23 minutes<BR/>Poorer Zip Codes in the 240 loop went up to 22 or 24 minutes.<BR/><BR/>So as you can see, there is a link between travel time and the growing poverty levels. As jobs moved east to the Germantown Rd Corridor, you increased the financial strain on areas that could lest afford it. It is also interesting that college grads have shorter commutes than poorer people in the Memphis area. <BR/><BR/>So is it becoming even more obvious that we need to improve MATA?polar donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593284213899478126noreply@blogger.com
