For the second year in a row, Boston is the most congested city in the U.S., according to INRIX's 2019 Global Traffic Scorecard. The D.C. region ranks fifth.
It may not feel like it when you’re sitting on the Capital Beltway or stuck on the Wilson Bridge, but congestion actually decreased in the Washington region last year — by 11 percent — the most of any of the 66 urban areas surveyed in the U.S., according to a new report.
Boston, where commuters lose 149 hours a year sitting in traffic, was the most congested city for the second year in a row, followed by Chicago , Philadelphia , New York City and Washington .Perhaps surprising to some: Los Angeles known for its vast network of freeways, ranked sixth. Ironically, the study’s authors attributed that to the region’s sprawling geography and massive road network.
The least congested of the 66 areas in the U.S.-- for the second year in a row — was Wichita. In that region, commuters lose less than two hours a year sitting in traffic.
