Transport & Vehicles in Bellevue
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Nearly 64% of workers in Bellevue drive themselves to work, making the car the dominant way to get around. While most households own at least one vehicle, the area has a much higher rate of car-less homes than most similar places. This reliance on cars is balanced by very strong local access to bus services.
