1 – Travel Time Tax is the percentage of extra travel time (vs. “free flow”) a random trip takes in the specific region and time period analyzed. A 10% tax means 10% additional trip time due to congestion.
2 – Peak hours are Monday to Friday, 6 to 10 AM and 3 to 7 PM.
Notes:

3 – “Hours of Congestion” is defined as times of the week when a road segment’s average hourly speed is half or less than its uncongested speed.
4 – CBSA stands for “Core Based Statistical Area,” the official term for a functional region based around an urban center of at least 10,000 people, based on standards published by the U.S. Government’s
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
