NOTES:  The roadway congestion index (RCI) is a measure of vehicle travel density on major roadways in an urban area.,,,,,,,,,,,,
"An RCI exceeding 1.0 indicates an undesirable congestion level, on average, on the freeways and principal arterial street system during the peak period.",,,,,,,,,,,,
"The cities shown represent the 50 largest metropolitan areas, as well as others chosen by the states sponsoring the Texas Transportation Institute study on mobility.",,,,,,,,,,,,
"The cost of congestion is estimated with a value for each hour of travel time and each gallon of fuel. For a more detailed explanation of the formulas used, see the source document.",,,,,,,,,,,,
