Quick answer

What does US cities with the highest public-transit commute share show?

Desert Hot Springs, United States has the highest workers commuting by public transport of the 30 cities compared: 2.55 % (ACS total population, 2026-07-04).

How this list is built

Every row is a published workers commuting by public transport observation measured in %, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2026. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
