Lithia is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Lithia isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.26% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town).
