INRIX 2023 Global Traffic Scorecard analyzes data across the globe, and the results find that Seattle has among the worst commutes not just in the U.S., but the whole world!
If you’ve been feeling like your Seattle commute has gotten stupendously long, a new international study says you’re absolutely correct.Kirkland-based analytics company INRIX released their latest Global Traffic Scorecard, which found that Seattle ranks the 10th-worst commute in the U.S., and even ranks the 27th-worst commute in the world. The Emerald City ranks ahead of major cities like Warsaw, Auckland, Berlin, Sydney and Amsterdam.
Seattle’s booming tech industry has actually lowered the amount of commuters on the road compared to pre-pandemic levels — roughly by 11% — which INRIX attributes to a slow return from pandemic at-home work. The city still lost roughly $1.6 billion on account of the commutes, and the folks stuck in their cars on I-5 and I-90 have wasted about 58 hours sitting in their cars.
