Indeed, growth in traffic delays could exceed growth in VMT given the nonlinear behavior of traffic flows, with congestion spreading throughout more hours of the day and across a larger share of metropolitan road networks (Sorensen et al 2008). The effects would be most pronounced in states with large or rapidly growing metropolitan areas and specific state DOTs to gain their perspectives.…”
