Why should the average citizen care about CTR?
Wherever congestion occurs, the delay in employee productivity and freight delivery translates to lost money. Washington’s economic vitality depends on personal mobility and the efficient movement of goods and materials. And yet, traffic congestion continues to grow worse as we fail to take advantage of viable alternatives to driving alone. If we could drive 500,000 fewer miles in our state each day, traffic congestion could be improved without building a single road. Since 1993, CTR has resulted in 18,000 fewer vehicles on the road during peak commuting hours, that’s over 94 million fewer miles traveled each year.
