Objective Category
System Efficiency: Delay

These objectives focus on reducing the delay in travel experienced by travelers. Delay is a measure of "excess travel time" caused by congestion (i.e., in comparison to free flow time or relative to the posted speed limit). Traffic delay per capita measures are more mode neutral than traffic delay per driver or per vehicle measures (i.e., focuses on the experiences of the entire population, not just drivers).
