The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) released their annual report on freeway congestion last week. The report confirms what many Bay Area commuters already know — that traffic has gotten worse. Across the Bay Area congestion is up 22 percent from 2014, with stretches between the South Bay and San Francisco dominating the top 10 list. We’ll discuss what slow downs are the worst and what solutions, if any, are on the horizon.
