More American Households Going Carless
- Detroit Bureau, Monday, January 27, 2014 10:46 AM
There are growing signs that Americans are less and less interested in owning cars. The number of U.S. households going without a vehicle has increased nearly every year since 2007—providing further evidence that motorization may have peaked in the United States, according to research by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, or UMTRI. The study found that 9.2% of U.S. households were without a vehicle in 2012, up from 8.7% in 2007. Further, the proportion of such households increased in 21 of the 30 largest American cities.
