According to the study, millions of Americans spend an average of one work week stuck in traffic jams per year, largely due to a car-centric culture.
Bob Pishue, a transportation analyst at INRIX, noted that every year since 2020, traffic has gradually risen toward pre-pandemic levels, which is a positive sign.
The survey ranked New York as the most congested city in the U.S., with commuters wasting an average of 102 hours per year in traffic.
The economic impact of traffic congestion is significant; lost time equates to an average of $771 in lost productivity per person annually.
