Transit and Congestion

• 
  Each person traveling in peak periods wastes, on average, 62 hours a year—nearly eight full working days in congestion delays.
  

• 
  C ongestion is becoming more widespread, experienced by nearly 60 percent of urban roadways in 2000
  

• 
  Congestion is no longer confined to our largest metropolitan areas. As long ago as 1997, two-thirds
  

of peak-period traffic was congested in areas of 500,000 or less.

  The cause:
  
  • 
    Disproportionate increases in private vehicle use.

    under-investment in public transportation and lack of travel alternatives reinforce private vehicle
