According to the "2002 Urban Mobility Report," traffic problems are getting worse; urban congestion is "growing in three increasingly visible ways."
"The good news is that there are solutions : more roadways and transit, ramp metering, HOV lanes, incentives to make trips at different times and better incident management (clearing accident scenes more quickly, etc.) that can make a positive difference in addressing the problem. The bad news, Researchers Tim Lomax and David Schrank say, is that even if transportation officials do all the right things, the likely effect is that congestion will continue to grow, even if more slowly, because not enough is being done." Includes links to summary of the study, report highlights, The National Congestion Tables, and Mobility Data. The complete 81-page report is also available online in PDF format.
