TomTom, the global geolocation technology leader released the 13th annual edition of its Traffic Index, which details key traffic insights and trends across 387 cities.

Key findings include:

• On average throughout 2023, it took Detroit drivers 8min and 51s to drive a typical 6-mile trip, no change since 2022.
• For a typical 6 mile-commute driven twice a day during morning & evening rush hours:
  • Typical Detroit commuters spent 75 hours driving; of which 16 hours were due to congestion.
  • Each Detroit driver emitted 738 kg of CO2, and 74 trees would be needed to absorb it.
  • Detroiters spent $327 on gas, with $42 stemming from traffic jams alone.
