LISTENING TO RADIO DURING SOCAL S TRAFFIC JAMS San Diego
NATIONAL CONGESTION RECESSION IS OVER Nearly all of the 9 million jobs that were lost during the Great Recession have been regained and the congestion problem is now worse than the prerecession levels. In 2014, congestion wasted an enormous amount of time, fuel, and money. Urban Americans traveled an extra 6.9 billion hours and purchased an extra 3.1 billion gallons of fuel totaling $160 billion. Congestion not only affects people who travel during peak periods, but also during off peak times. Approximately 41% of total delay occurs during off peak hours - midday and overnight - when travelers expect free-flow travel. In 5 years, the national congestion cost is projected to increase from $160 billion to $192 billion. National delay will grow to 8.3 billion hours in 2020, up 20% in just 5 years and it s safe to assume that the problem will only get worst for all urban areas especially Los Angeles which ranks 2 nd in hours of delay per commuter (80 hours), behind Washington D.C. (82 hours). Source: Texas A&M Transportation Institute and INRIX, 2015 Urban Mobility Scorecard, August 2015, Travel Time Index Rank.
