Allentown--Bethlehem--Easton, PA--NJ Urbanized Area Congestion Report
In the line graphs below, FHWA uses Data Collection Year instead of Data Reporting Year to represent snapshot condition/performance at the time the data was collected. More information
The Allentown--Bethlehem--Easton, PA--NJ Urbanized Area covers parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Targets are agreed upon by several transportation agencies and apply to the entire area.

(New Jersey) The approach for developing targets for the CMAQ PHED measures included the following • Develop conservative targets reflecting that recent trends may not be representative of future conditions. • Uncertainties with COVID-19, inflation, long-term trends for working at home and • Energy and supply chain disruptions. • Future funding (e.g. IIJA) may initiate more project construction activities impacting congestion. • Generalized approach for target determination Average 2018 and 2019 PHED values except for Reading where 2021 PHED higher than 2019. • Assume same values for 2-year and 4-year targets. 4-year targets can be updated at the midterm report.

(New Jersey) The approach for developing targets for the CMAQ Non-SOV measure included the following • Develop conservative targets reflecting that recent trends may not be representative of future conditions. • Uncertainties with COVID-19, inflation, long-term trends for working at home and energy and supply chain disruptions. Expectations of future higher work-at-home percentages than pre-pandemic conditions. •Note that COVID impacts on work-at-home and transit commuting in 2020-2021 will be included in future ACS 5-year estimates throughout performance period. •Generalized approach for target determination Average non-SOV 5-year ACS values for end year periods 2016-2020. •Assume same values for 2-year and 4-year targets. 4-year targets can be updated at the midterm report.
