The 2023 Global Traffic Scorecard report by INRIX, a transportation analytics company, found the typical U.S. driver lost 42 hours to traffic congestion — the equivalent of a full work week — that resulted in $733 worth of time lost.
Congestion cost the U.S. more than $70.4 billion in 2023, a 15% increase from 2022.
The report also states the return to the office post-Covid has continued to affect other modes of transportation.
To rank the cities, INRIX looked at travel delay comparisons, collision trends, last-mile speeds, economic costs and time lost.
Pishue says the biggest takeaway from the report was that of the urban areas studied globally, 78% saw increased traffic delays in 2023.
