Estimated Labour Force by Transportation Mode by Census Tract

Estimated labour force population by primary transportation mode for each Census Tract (CT) in Canada. Non-commuters (unemployed individuals and those working from home) have been redistributed proportionally across the four transportation modes ('Bike', 'Car-motorized', 'Public transit', and 'Walk') based on the mode share within each CT. This dataset has been vetted and approved for release by the Research Data Centre (RDC) at McMaster University.
