The Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s Urban Mobility Report finds U.S. traffic congestion reached record levels in 2024, with the average American spending 63 hours stalled in traffic as delays spread beyond traditional rush hours and into more days of the week. Los Angeles topped the rankings at 137 hours lost per commuter, while San Diego saw the biggest percentage increase since 2019 at more than 37%, and researchers noted rising truck-related rush-hour delays and heavier Thursday traffic nearly matching Fridays.
