Transport & Vehicles in Calare
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
About 65% of workers in Calare commute by driving a car, making private vehicles the dominant way to get around. While many homes have multiple cars, very few people use public transport for work. This reliance on cars is reflected in the low number of people who work from home compared to the rest of the state.

Most households have at least one car, and 37.7% have two. Only 5.6% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is well below the New South Wales figure of 9.2% and has fallen since 2011.
