WRE News: Miami’s Traffic Strain Grows as City Grapples with Solutions

Miami, FL – August 11, 2024 – Miami’s rapid growth has created a traffic nightmare that’s pushing the limits of the city’s infrastructure.

As the city attracts new residents and businesses, its roads are becoming increasingly congested, with commuters losing an average of 70 hours each year in traffic. Despite plans for new rail projects and bus systems, Miami’s car-dependent culture and suburban sprawl have led to delays and limited progress in easing the gridlock.

Local leaders and business groups are clashing over how to best address these issues, with concerns about funding, crime, and the impact on the city’s future growth fueling the debate.
