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.
