How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Far fewer people live without a car in Clifton Springs than in the rest of Victoria. Only 2.3% of homes have no motor vehicle, making it much lower than most areas. This heavy reliance on cars is reflected in the long travel times to the city and the very low use of public transport for work.
Vehicles
