As defined by the United States Census Bureau, an extreme commute is a daily journey to work that takes more than 90 minutes each way. According to the bureau, about 3% of American adult workers are so-called "extreme" commuters.[1] Not surprisingly, the number of extreme commuters in the New York, Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, and Los Angeles metropolitan areas is much greater than the national average.
Midas sponsored an "America's Longest Commute" award in 2006. The winner drove 372 miles (about 4½ hours) roundtrip to and from work each day.[2]
