Curious to know how many hours on average you’ve spent in traffic last year? It’s more than six days give or take.
That's the highest number in North America and second highest in the world, according to Bob Pishue, transportation analyst with analytics company INRIX and author of the report. The number is up from pandemic-affected delays of 104 hours in Chicago in 2021.
“Pretty much every major U.S. city saw their morning commute come back last year,” Pishue said. “That was one of the first things that fell off during COVID. It was much lighter for travelers. Chicago had that but then also a much larger increase in that afternoon commute, as well. With both of those factors, it led to all of this traffic increasing.”
