During the next decade, traffic volumes are projected to continue increasing significantly, with about a 39 percent increase in overall traffic levels. The use of public transportation, presently 8 percent of the region's travel, is projected to increase about 13 percent. Both of these estimates are consistent with recent trends. Within the region, major variations in traffic increases are projected. The largest increases are projected for radial roads outside of the Beltway and on cross-county highways. As traffic levels increase, peak traffic congestion will deteriorate. The amount of congestion depends on the particular corridor in question. Though congestion is projected to increase, pollutants emitted and gasoline consumed by autos will most likely decrease below today's levels because of federal mandates on new car sales.
