Congestion
- 2020 Congestion Report (PDF)
Key Summary: The Twin Cities freeway system had a decrease in the percentage of miles of freeway system congested, from 24.4% in 2019 to 1.4% in 2020. Many factors regularly affect congestion levels such as the local economy, population growth, gas prices, transit ridership and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on congestion levels in 2020, as commuting patterns drastically changed under stay-at-home orders and due to significant numbers of people working remotely. This resulted in almost non-existent congestion during peak hours and very low transit ridership.
