 The United States is home to some of the most congested cities in the world. The 2023 Global Traffic Scorecard, reported by INRIX, found the typical U.S. driver lost 42 hours to traffic congestion, the equivalent of a full work week. That resulted in $733 worth of time lost. Conjecture cost the U.S. more than $70 billion last year, a 15% increase from the year prior.
