Who wants to tell INRIX
Turns out that traffic modeling is kind of voodoo, and that predicted increase in traffic in the Bronx that a lot of congestion pricing opponents hung their hats on did not come to pass

Seattle traffic congestion increased 9% in 2024 as workers returned to office
“Seattle is one of three metros highlighted in the report…where the return to office contributed to an increase in traffic congestion.”
“Seattle is one of three metros highlighted in the report…where the return to office contributed to an increase in traffic congestion.”
How much longer we're sitting in traffic as workers return to offices
A new report shows Seattle traffic congestion increased by 9% from 2023 to 2024, and was likely due in part to a sharp decline in telecommuting, FYI Guy writes.

Baltimore and Philadelphia saw the largest increases in traffic delays. Congestion pricing may have helped keep New York City traffic in check.

It has 4 references: 2 Andrew Ellson clickbait press articles and 2 press releases (from INRIX & Travelwatch) that don’t even mention LTNs. They really are Charlatans.

Two friendly amendments:
(1) The data exists, just not in the same form as ACS journey to work data. Ride hail, INRIX, mobile location data. Mostly private & costly to access, but being collected & interpreted.
(2) (Until I am blue in the face): ACS is survey data, with all the attendant problems.

Hard to overstate what a big problem this is, and it rears its head in basically *any* kind of transportation research you might try to do, at least in the US. Data on non-commute trips is, more often than not, just nonexistent. Unless you have the resources to collect your own data, good luck.
Relying basically only on commute data for planning for a century was an enormous mistake.

Curious if scenarios like this are included in the INRIX data that show the $billions we lose to traffic congestion.
Watching this @kelseyhuse.com video and feeling old like "bAcK iN mY dAy wE ToOk tHe bUs!" But genuinely was I just unaware that this has always been a problem because I was a child? Was it just because I went to a well funded school? Has there been a significant change in funding school buses? All?
