Another notable thing is that Pembroke Park is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
In Pembroke Park, however, the average commute to work is quite long. On average, people spend 35.52 minutes each day getting to work, which is significantly higher than the national average.

For a small town, Pembroke Park has a lot of people who use public transit to get to work, and those that do mostly ride the bus. This suggests that a real need for low-cost transportation in Pembroke Park exists, and local transit is helping to meet that need.
