Four years post-Covid, US traffic congestion has reached record levels, with vehicle miles traveled up 12% since May 2019, affecting major metro areas significantly.
StreetLight Data reported that congestion in almost all metro areas surpassed pre-pandemic levels, with only six exceptions, highlighting a nationwide resurgence in driving.
New York City's urban core experienced the most significant increase in driving and gridlock, particularly after the failure of its congestion pricing initiative last summer.
Conversely, some California metro areas displayed notable declines in traffic, suggesting that trends vary greatly across different regions in the US.
