Congestion Report

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has unveiled its annual ranking of the Bay Area’s most congested freeway segments, with the westbound morning commute along Interstate 80 from Hercules to Oakland regaining its oft-held position in 2014 as the region’s most notorious location for traffic trouble. The nearly 17-mile stretch from the State Route 4 interchange to the Bay Bridge toll plaza ranked #4 on the regional congestion list for 2013. Congestion is expected to worsen next year but there are some positive changes underway too; more people are car pooling and taking transit.
