Urban Congestion Reports

The Urban Congestion Report (UCR) is produced on a quarterly basis and characterizes emerging traffic congestion and reliability trends at the national and city level. The reports utilize archived traffic operations data gathered from state DOTs and a private traffic information company. As of 2008, the reports were being produced for 23 cities. The production of these reports is a cooperative effort between the Texas Transportation Institute and Cambridge Systematics.

Beginning in March 2010, you will be able to access the most recent Urban Congestion Reports below. Each quarterly report compares data from the most recent three months compared to the same three months last year.
