Daily commuting in New Jersey involves hours spent behind the wheel, and a new study has put an exact number on those hours. News 12 reports the team at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute released their 2025 Urban Mobility Report, a study they’ve conducted since 1982. According to the A&M study, the average commuter in the greater Philadelphia region, including South Jersey, loses 70 hours to traffic each year.
The team at TAMU says congestion is back to pre-pandemic levels. Only now, it’s more spread out throughout the day and week due to the rise in work-from-home.
