San Juan, PR 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 San Juan, PR Urbanized Area covers parts of Puerto Rico. Targets are agreed upon by several transportation agencies and apply to the entire area.

(Puerto Rico) To analyze possible outcomes and behaviors of the PHED performance targets, several trendline options were evaluated (i.e., exponential, linear, logarithmic, polynomial, and power) and the 3-year moving averages to visualize trends. The 2-year and 4-year targets were identified analyzing the period from 2018 up to the 2022 latest data taking into consideration that 2020 and 2021 were affected by the covid-19 restrictions, the values were forecasted using a linear regression forecast.

(Puerto Rico) For the 2018 baseline report it was used the ACS_17_5YR_DP03 for the Percent Single Occupant Vehicle Travel for the San Juan UZA. When verifying the Non-SOV using Method A it was noted that the latest available data was the ACS_18_5YR_DP03, resulting in a Non-SOV value of 19.1. Since the available data using Method A was from 2017 and 2018 it could be expected that Non-SOV is affected by the fact that more workers are expected to telecommute, and this have a significant impact on the percent of Non-SOV travel. It is important to note that the baseline value of 18.4 may be influenced by the covid restrictions, including several lockdowns. Taking into consideration the latter, the PRTHA is setting the 2- and 4-year targets lower than the baseline. The expectation is that for the mid performance reporting period the data is more representative of the actual conditions because in Puerto Rico the 2022 was the first year similar to pre-covid conditions in terms of transportation patterns. Hence, the PRHTA will be evaluating these new targets in the mid-period report with a more normal scenario in the Island.
