With gas prices rising and family budgets strained, more commuters are looking for efficient ways to get to work without a car. But are America's transit networks up to the task?

Percent of working-age residents near a transit stop: 31%
Median wait (minutes) for any rush hour transit vehicle: 13.7
Percent of jobs reachable via transit in 90 minutes: 27%
