The energy department analyzed 2022 data from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine the average commute time for workers in each state and the District of Columbia. To no one’s surprise here in Georgia, the Peach State ranks toward the top.

The energy department says that a Georgia driver spent an average of 28.4 minutes for a one-way commute. That is tied for seventh place with Illinois. Georgia’s commute time is also above the national average of 26.7 minutes.

The top spots from first to sixth were New York, Maryland, New Jersey, D.C., Massachusetts and California.

Which states had the best commutes? South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska rank at the bottom.
