The overall increased performance in the national economy has provided individuals with more financial resources to invest in personal transportation. The increasing growth of cities and their spread over the surrounding countryside through low-density exurban expansion has created a need for personal transportation as public transportation systems often do not adequately serve these areas. The changing role of women in the work force has also increased the need for personal mobility as more women work outside of the home and require transportation to get to and from work. Thus, all three factors (A, B, and C) have contributed to the increasing level of personal mobility in the United States.
