Highway congestion is an escalating economic, social, and political problem as delays on freeways and arterial streets and the costs associated with these delays steadily increase. While it is easy to observe congestion, it is very difficult to measure. Without proper data to assess the effectiveness of individual projects, there is no way to prioritize projects, choose between competing alternatives, or justify proposed funding levels. To help solve the problem, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics is examining how we measure road congestion with the goal of developing improved measurements that will lead to effective congestion-relief programs and policies at the national level.
