Abstract
Ridesharing, firm size, and urban form are analyzed using 1980 Census data. It was hypothesized that the propensity of employees to carpool should increase with firm size at the regional level of analysis. A few outlier observations at the county and SMSA levels of analysis seemed to corroborate this hypothesis. In general, however, no relationship, or a weakly negative one, was found between firm size and the propensity of employees to carpool at the regional level. Firm size is therefore probably not a direct cause of higher levels of employee ridesharing. Other factors, including the interrelated location decisions of firms and their employees, must also be involved.
