Book excerpt: Traffic congestion in the U.S. is bad and getting worse, and it is expensive. Appropriate solutions to this problem require appropriate information. A comprehensive and accurate analysis of congestion costs is a critical tool for planning and implementing policies to improve traffic conditions not only because the information will aid decision making and provide a basis for evaluating the effects of public interventions, but also because it will sensitize public opinion about the importance of solving congestion problems. According to the Texas Transportation Institute's (TTI) Urban Mobility Report, which produces the most widely used estimates of the cost of congestion, in 2005, the average peak-period traveler in the urbanized areas of the country experienced an additional 38 hours in travel times and consumed an additional 26 gallons of fuel due to congestion. That means an aggregate of 4.2 billion hours of travel delay and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel, representing a monetary cost of 78.2 billion dollars, up from a cost of 14.9 billion dollars in 1982. In Florida six of the seven urban areas with individual estimates in the Urban Mobility Report are classified as having "much higher congestion" or "higher congestion" when compared with similar regions across the country. The cost of congestion in these seven urban areas is 5.2 billion dollars. These estimates, however, are intended for comparisons of trends for individual cities and, by definition, they are aggregate and general. TTI itself acknowledges these limitations stating that "local and state studies are typically more detailed and relevant." For this reason, in this research, we conducted a more detailed study of congestion costs with the objective of filling some of the gaps of the Urban Mobility Report: [1] TTI just shows individual estimates of seven urban areas in Florida; [2] TTI does not take into account rural areas; [3] TTI does not allow a spatial understanding of congestion; [4] TTI uses national averages of constants and general estimations instead of specific state or local information; and [5] TTI omits important costs of congestion. This study used historical data on traffic densities provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to estimate speeds, travel delay, and cost of congestion for every county in Florida. To that end, the study expanded and adapted TTI's method to all urban and rural areas, included state and local information when possible, analyzed the spatial implications of congestion, and proposed a method to calculate the costs of congestion due to unreliability. In addition, more disaggregated estimation methods were employed to calculate congestion metrics and costs to the level of road section providing more accuracy and detail. The results of the study show that traffic congestion has been increasing in every county in Florida. Also, congestion is not just an urban issue but a rural issue as well. Rural areas adjacent to urban areas experienced worse traffic congestion than rural areas isolated from urban areas. Our findings suggest that urban freeways are more sensitive to population size than urban arterials. As population increase urban freeways experience more traffic congestion than urban arterials. The opposite is observed in rural areas. Based on these findings we recommend some directions for future research about the effect of different public interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
