Which Tampa Bay County Has The Longest Commute

By QYK Producer

With everyone getting back to the office, traffic has been getting worse. A new study shows which Tampa Bay county has the longest commute.

Stacker took a deep dive into the state of the commuter in Florida. Using stats and data from the U.S. Census Bureau and throwing in some fancy math calculations, they came up with the Top 50 counties in Florida with the worst commutes. Here’s how Tampa Bay fared when it came to the work commute and you will be surprised by which counties didn’t make the list!
