Steepest Decrease in Driving Reported
May 28, 2008
The Department of Transportation (DOT) reported figures from March showing the steepest decrease in driving ever recorded.
Americans drove an estimated 4.3 percent less in March compared with a year ago. That's 11 billion fewer miles. The DOT's Federal Highway Administration called it "the sharpest yearly drop for any month" in the history of the administration, which has been keeping records since 1942.
