In the world’s most congested cities,
drivers spend 50–100 hours per year
stuck in traffic.1
Nearly 80% of people living in urban
areas are exposed to air pollution—much
of it attributed to vehicle emissions—that
exceeds WHO recommendations.2
In major US urban areas, the annual
health costs of congestion exceed
$30 billion.3
There is an estimated $1 trillion per year
shortfall in global infrastructure
spending.
Cities’ mobility challenge
Already, many cities are experiencing the downsides of
overloaded, inefficient roads and transit.

Roughly 15 million additional miles of
paved roads (enough to circle the globe
60 times).1
We can’t pave our way out of these challenges.
About 30,000 square miles of parking
spaces (that’s the area of South
Carolina).1
In the absence of major policy and technological
changes, by 2050 the world will need …

Only about 27% of surveyed cities’
workforces can commute to work on
transit in 90 minutes or less.1
45% of Americans cannot access public
transportation.2
$4 trillion could be lost in US GDP by 2025
if infrastructure deficiencies aren’t met.3
