Marquette, MI
Median commute: 8.93 minutes

It's lucky that residents of the biggest city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula don't have far to drive - they get more than 140 inches of snow per year.

Northern Michigan University, and a local hospital, and medical center keep road-time to a minimum for many of the locals who work within its 11.4 square miles. Compare that with Jacksonville, Fla., the nation's biggest city by area, which covers a whopping 757.7 square miles and has an average commute time of 21.9 minutes.
