Report Confirms What You Already Know - Washington Drivers Have the Worst Commute in the Country
The Washington DC
area has the dubious distinction of being rated number one in traffic
congestion in the nation according to the recently released annual report from
the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
The report introduced the Planning Time Index to help drivers estimate how
long a trip will take. In Washington ,
the report suggests allowing three hours for a half-hour trip to ensure on-time
arrival 19 out of 20 times. Anyone who
travels regularly in the region knows first-hand about these kinds of delays.
