That's from 2004. The contemporary story of gentrification is higher-income workers choosing the urban core, and lower-income workers getting pushed to the suburban periphery where adequate transit coverage is less likely.
The relevant quantity here is vehicle mileage, not mode share. I expected lower-income workers to drive much longer distances (whereas the rich would have more car trips but trivial distances). So I'm more interested in "Other research suggests that low-income workers travel shorter distances than other workers" which is genuinely surprising. I wonder how that's fared over time.
