Think traffic’s getting worse in and out of Pittsburgh? An international study of vehicle travel patterns agrees with you.

Pittsburgh has the 15th-worst traffic in the United States, with an average of 43 hours per year lost sitting in the car without moving during 2023. That’s according to a new study by Inrix , an analytics firm that measured traffic patterns annually in the world’s biggest cities.

That’s five hours more than in 2022 and the delay cost the average motorist $749 in extra gasoline and the region $724 million in wasted productivity, Inrix said. Even though the number of hours in traffic was down 14% compared to the pre-Covid ranking, Pittsburgh’s ranking actually fell by one place year over year. In 2022, Pittsburgh was No. 14 on Inrix’s list.
