In the context of recent welfare reform efforts, authors have examined strategies
for attracting jobs to inner cities, dispersing innercity residents to suburban
jobgrowth areas, and creating transportation connections between inner cities
and suburban jobgrowth areas. However, little has been done to estimate the
extent of potential commute of nonworkers who are expected to become active
workers as a result of welfare reform. This study attempts to predict the extent
of nonworkers commute by using modeling techniques employed in labor
economics. Policy implications of the empirical findings are discussed and an observations
of some further ways of thinking can be find in the conclusion.

modeling techniques employed in labor economics. Data from the 1995 Nationwide Transportation
Survey are utilized. Conforming to theoretical premises and logical expectations,
I estimate that mean commute time of nonworkers is likely to be substantially lower
than those currently working. Policy implications of the empirical findings are discussed.
