BREAK THE JAM! Save Money, Save Time!

The Washington, D.C. metro Area is ranked as one of the top five most congested cities in the country. In 2003, Americans spent a total of 3.7 billion hours, 2.3 billion gallons of fuel, and 65 billion dollars in gridlock-related expenses. More than 40 percent of all commuters into D.C. arrive in single passenger occupied vehicles. "The intent of the Break the Jam campaign is to encourage drivers to re-consider driving alone," said Susan Lee, founding team member of Break the Jam.
