Abstract: This fact sheet presents 2019 to 2023 data on city-wide travel times, the number of remote workers, and the amount of time lost and saved by commuters across seven Mountain West cities: Mesa, AZ; Phoenix, AZ; Tucson, AZ; Colorado Springs, CO; Denver, CO; Las Vegas, NV; and Albuquerque, NM. The data are derived from the 2025 Yardi Kube report, 鈥淏ack on the Road: U.S. Commutes Increase Amid a Hybrid Work Era,鈥 which includes commute time and remote worker data for the 50 largest cities across the United States. The year 2022 is used as a base comparison to show changes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
