Commute times
This page displays average (mean) and reliable (95th percentile) morning and evening peak commute times for weekday trips on 7 miles of SR 14 between Camas and the I-205 interchange. It also reports the average and reliable travel times for weekday trips from Camas to the I-5 interchange.
Fiber optic communication lines, traffic data stations and traffic cameras have been installed along SR 14 and SR 503 in Clark County. This infrastructure helps travelers make informed decisions with more accurate real-time roadway information. Cost-effective ITS solutions like these, which allow the existing transportation system to operate as safely and efficiently as possible, are increasingly common along I-5, I-205 and other Southwest Washington highways.
The average peak commute times indicate how long it took, on average, to make these trips during the worst part of the morning (or evening) commute in a given year. The reliable peak commute time shows how much time someone traveling during the worst part of the morning or evening commute would have to allow for their trip in order to arrive at their destination on time on 19 out of 20 days. For details on methodology to calculate commute times, see WSDOT's
Handbook for Corridor Capacity Evaluation (PDF 5.9MB).

Note: Transit commute travel times were collected for the first time in 2019. Highway (GP lane) data collection devices were updated in 2017. Travel times at posted speed are different in some years for some commutes due to the change in the trip length caused by changes in data collection device locations. Commute times are rounded to the nearest minute.
Multi-year trends
In 2022, travel times in several routes continued to worsen compared to 2021 due to the ongoing recovery of traffic volume in the wake of COVID-19.
In 2020, due to the statewide response to COVID-19, there was a significant decrease in commute times compared to previous years.
From 2018 through 2019, reliable travel times in most locations worsened.
Annual highlights
In 2022, the average and reliable morning peak travel times worsened compared to 2021 for both the Camas to I-5 interchange and the Camas to I-205 interchange commutes, due to the ongoing recovery of traffic volume in the wake of COVID-19.
