“Urbanization continues to drive increased congestion in many major cities worldwide. Strong economies, population growth, higher employment rates and declining gas prices have resulted in more drivers on the road – and more time wasted in traffic. The INRIX 2015 Traffic Scorecard analyzes and compares the state of traffic congestion in countries and 100 major metropolitan areas worldwide. The report reveals the cities most impacted by worsened traffic conditions are those that experienced the most economic improvement during the past year. The key findings of the 2015 Traffic Scorecard provide a quantifiable benchmark for governments and cities in Europe and the U.S. to measure progress in improving urban mobility and track the impact of spending on smart city initiatives.” [Spoiler – DC is ranked second in the US]
