The frequency of use of 4 post-immigration modes are described (use of transit, riding a bicycle, carpooling, and driving a car) OR stands for Odds Ratio. Only significant contributors (independent variables) to each of these outcomes are included (i.e., significant OR at p<.01). For instance, Compared to those who have not driven a car in the US, those who drove every day tend to use transit less frequently (OR = 0.36).
