On the agenda
As the city filed it
Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is receding in the rear view mirror, people are returning to their regular travel patterns. Along with this we are seeing an increase in traffic congestion. While some traffic congestion is to be expected, many residents are experiencing much longer travel times compared to pre-COVID conditions, which will likely worsen as more people return to the workplace. INRIX, a company that collects and analyses global data on traffic and congestion, found that in 2021 Toronto was the most congested city in Canada, the 22nd worst congested city in the world, and drivers lost 74 hours in traffic.
