Stats Can: Most Kamloopsians still driving to work
KAMLOOPS — Kamloopsians love their cars.
That’s according to the latest Statistics Canada Census data.
“In the Kamloops 2016 Census, we found that 87.2 per cent of people are taking a private vehicle to get to work,” says analyst Katherine Savage. “We also found that just over four per cent of people are using public transit to get to work and for active transportation, including walking and biking to work, we found that 6.6 per cent of people are taking active transport to get to work.”
She adds the numbers haven’t changed much since 2011 in Kamloops.
