It's a real problem and a real constituency as far as I know but driving ever increasing distances for work isn't a remotely sensible solution.

The thing that makes it harder is that the vast majority of the jobs are in cities, but housing costs in cities is very expensive.  Thus people who work in low-wage jobs end up driving long distances to get to work.

I suppose the natural outcome of this is that wages for these low-wage jobs to rise.
