That’s almost an entire workweek just spent trying to get to and from the office.
Everyone knows the City of Angels is traffic hell. But just how much time and money L.A. residents spend commuting may still come as an nasty shock.
That’s almost double the national average, with urban commuters spending an extra 54 hours a year on congested roads, or 2.5 days trapped in their cars. What’s more, Americans are using an extra 21 gallons of fuel during these bumper-to-bumper slogs. The report calculates these delays as costing around $1,010 per commuter, drawing on the median hourly wage from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But there’s also the incalculable cost of uncertain or longer delivery times; missed meetings; business relocations; and other congestion-related effects. On a national scale, the TTI report says that gridlock cost the country $166 billion in 2017, a more than tenfold increase over the previous 15 years.
