The transportation data firm INRIX Research released on Tuesday its annual rankings of the most congested cities in the US.
The company measured the amount of time lost per capita in 2018 due to the difference between traffic at the busiest and least busy commuting times each day. Cities were ranked based on delays caused by congestion, adjusted for each city's population. INRIX also measured the per capita and overall cost of congestion for each city.
Boston was named the most congested city in the US for the second year in a row. INRIX attributed the city's congestion to its age, population density, and geographic characteristics.
