--Reconstruction costs can be more than three
times the cost of 25 years of maintenance. Plus,
proper maintenance can extend the life of a
roadway by as much as 18 years.
14. --Congestion will cost the Texas economy an average of $20 billion per year over
the next 15 years (rising from about $10.8 billion now to almost $30 billion in
2025).
--Currently, the cost of transportation for the average Texas household is
estimated to be about $9,500, which takes into account fuel, maintenance,
depreciation, tires, and insurance costs.
--The average Texas commuter spends about 37 hours per year stuck in traffic,
which translates into an annual delay cost per commuter of $928.
--If nothing is done, congestion will cause commuter delay in urban and
metropolitan regions to double in 15 years from 37 hours per year to 74 hours per
year.
--The 37 hour increase in delay will cost the average household an additional $800
per year.
--In 2035, Texans, in total, will burn almost 7 million gallons of extra fuel because
of traffic delays.
