Nobody enjoys being stuck in traffic, whether due to construction, weather delays, or seemingly no reason at all. Unfortunately, Tampa traffic delays continue to worsen, impacting thousands of commuters daily. According to the latest INRIX Traffic Scorecard, Tampa ranks among the top U.S. cities where drivers lose the most time on the road.
How Much Time Are Tampa Drivers Losing?
In 2024, the average American driver “lost” 43 hours in traffic, up from 42 hours in 2023 but still lower than the 51 hours in 2022.
