American drivers, on average, wasted 51 hours last year sitting in traffic jams, costing $869, according to a new report.
CHICAGO — Millions of Americans returning to the office but getting there primarily by driving instead of taking public transit led to a significant increase in traffic congestion last year, according to a new report.
"2022 was shaping up to be a year of re-emergence and a return to a new, post-pandemic behavioral norm, but that halted with the rise in oil prices, supply chain disruptions, and inflation," said Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX. Chicago drivers suffered the worst congestion among U.S. cities, wasting an average of 155 hours in commuting traffic last year, with an annual of cost per commuter of $2,618, followed by Boston , New York , Philadelphia and Miami .
