Americans waste 5.5 billion hours a year stuck in traffic, or about two-thirds of the time spent in the car. The average commuter spends 38 hours annually sitting on congested roads, about a full week of vacation. In Dallas, Miami, Seattle, and Philadelphia, motorists squander 45 to 48 hours each year on jammed roadways. It’s even worse in larger cities where motorists spend between 51 and 67 hours in traffic. All of this misuse equates to $121 billion in wasted time and fuel per year. That surpasses the Gross Domestic Product of two-thirds of the world’s countries.
