The 2011 Urban Mobility Report is the second prepared in partnership with INRIX, a leading private sector provider of travel time information for travelers and shippers. This means the 2011 Urban Mobility Report has millions of data points resulting in an average speed on almost every mile of major road in urban America for almost every hour of the day. For the congestion analyst, this is an awesome amount of information. For the policy analyst and transportation planner, these congestion problems can be described in detail and solutions can be targeted with much greater specificity and accuracy. The INRIX speed data is combined with traffic volume data from the states to provide a much better and more detailed picture of the problems facing urban travelers. This one-of-its-kind data combination gives the Urban Mobility Report an unrivaled picture of urban traffic congestion. (Author/publisher)
