Cost of Orlando traffic congestion: $1,000 per driver

Orlando is the 33rd largest urban area with bigger city traffic congestion problems, according to the latest urban mobility report from Texas A&M University's Transportation Institute.

The report, released this week with data from 2011, finds that waiting in traffic jams during rush hour cost each driver $984. Your vehicle also burned an excess of 22 gallons of gas during the time you were commuting.

Looking at traffic congestion nationwide, the TTI report determined that the problem is very large. Congestion caused travelers in our cities to spend an additional 5.5 billion hours on the roads, burning an extra 2.9 billion gallons of fuel to get where they were going.

Congestion in the U.S. in 2011 cost America's urban drivers $121 billion, according to the annual report.
