2021 Highlights
- In 2021, the average daily person miles traveled increased from 2020 due to the recovery of traffic volume across the state. Along with the upswing in traffic volume was an increase in delay for 2021, but both person miles traveled and delay were still lower than pre-pandemic levels. Public transportation has been experiencing improvements in ridership but remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Park and ride lots are also still below 2019 levels in most areas
- Approximately 663 million person miles were traveled on the I-5, I-205 and SR 14 corridors in the Vancouver region in 2021, up 11.6% from 594 million person miles in 2020
- Vehicle delay on the I-5, I-205 and SR 14 corridors in the Vancouver region increased 560% from 6,024 hours in 2020 to 39,760 hours in 2021, but was significantly less than the pre-pandemic level of 222,761 hours in 2019.
