Long Island City Workers

Befitting its role as a major industrial and backoffice center for New York City, Long Island City draws commuters from every borough and neighborhood. Those include many subway riders who must travel long distances and make at least one transfer to get to work. 

LIC has a strong base of local workers who walk or bike to their jobs. At the same time, many Queens residents opt to drive, a reflection of the great distance of many destinations from subway stations and the availability of free parking. And while their homes are not shown on this map, many public and private sector workers commute by car to this area from Long Island.
