Traffic Congestion On the Rise After Reaching a Bottom Traffic Congestion On the Rise After Reaching a Bottom Quote: After bottoming out in the second quarter, traffic congestion across the country is on the rise amid signs of economic recovery, new stimulus-funded highway construction projects and lower fuel prices, according to a mid-year National Traffic Scorecard special report by Inrix. Inrix, which provides traffic and navigation services in North America, found that 64 of the top 100 most populated cities in the U.S. had increased traffic congestion levels at the beginning of this year. The company also said its freight corridor analysis showed the need for a national freight strategy. "Traffic congestion decreased over the past 18 months and hit bottom in the second quarter of 2009," said Bryan Mistele, INRIX president and CEO. "Now, our nation's roadways are starting to jam up again. Traffic is a great indicator of the pulse of the economy, and as the economy improves, we expect gridlock to head towards 2007's record levels as people return to work, freight transportation increases, and consumers switch back to vacations from staycations." more here>> Traffic Congestion On the Rise After Reaching a Bottom __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us
