Las Vegas--Henderson, NV 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 Las Vegas--Henderson, NV Urbanized Area covers parts of Nevada. Targets are agreed upon by several transportation agencies and apply to the entire area.

  • Annual Hours of Peak-Hour Excessive Delay (PHED) Per Capita

    (Nevada) The Department leverages the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) to analyze the federal National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS), as well as INRIX data obtained from mobile phone devices, connected vehicles, portable navigation devices, and on-board fleet management systems. The Annual Hours of Peak Hour Excessive indicates the annual hours of excessive delay per capita. Excessive delay is defined as the extra amount of time spent in congested conditions defined by speed thresholds that are lower than a normal delay threshold. For the purposes of this rule, the speed threshold is 20 miles per hour (mph) or 60 percent of the posted speed limit for each segment, whichever is greater during 15-minute intervals. The total excessive delay metric is also weighted by vehicle volumes and occupancy. For Nevada specific calculation purposes, the peak traffic periods are defined as weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. for weekday afternoons. Furthermore, we utilized MS Excel to analyze the results provided by RITIS and created a bar graph with a historical trendline in order to forecast the 2 and 4 year targets.

  • Non-Single Occupancy Vehicle (Non-SOV) Travel

    (Nevada) The Department leverages the Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) to analyze the federal National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS), as well as INRIX data obtained from mobile phone devices, connected vehicles, portable navigation devices, and on-board fleet management systems. The Non-SOV Travel is the percentage of the population in urbanized areas that are commuting to work by means other than utilizing a single occupancy vehicle, such as carpool, van, public transportation, commuter rail, walking, or bicycling, as well as telecommuting. The percent of Non-SOV Travel was obtained in coordination with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC-SNV) utilizing the American Community Survey (ACS) Commuting (Journey to Work) data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Furthermore, NDOT utilized MS Excel to analyze the results provided the ACS Survey and created a bar graph with a historical trendline in order to forecast the 2 and 4 year targets.
