                        One thing most people in the U.S. can agree on is 
this: we hate sitting in our cars in traffic. It's a hassle, it's annoying, 
and it's a complete waste of precious time. But Americans are spending more 
and more time sitting in traffic jams as the years goes on.



                        And it's not just bad for the drivers — it's bad for 
the environment, too. Gridlock is a major cause of pollution and greenhouse 
gas emissions, due to the increased amount of fuel consumed as cars simply 
sit on overcrowded roadways, unable to move.



                        Researchers recently compiled a list of the top 25 
most traffic-gridlocked cities in the U.S. Two states contributed the most 
cities to the list: Texas and California.

                        In California, the cities of San Francisco, Los 
Angeles, San Diego , and the capital city of Sacramento score high-ranking 
spots on the list. Meanwhile, Texas adds Houston, Dallas, and Austin to the 
Top 25.

                        These seven cities alone make up more than 
one-quarter of all locations named on the list. That means California and 
Texas are especially responsible for contributing to the U.S.'s carbon 
footprint — and for making commuters' lives hell.



                        But there is a way forward. Both states' governments 
must invest in robust public transportation systems to help free us from the 
nightmare of gridlock, and reduce our carbon footprint! Sign the petition.

                        P.S. We don't need to keep relying on cars as though 
they're some sort of religion. We need to invest in the future and move 
towards comprehensive, easily-accessible, high-speed, cutting-edge public 
transit now! Sign the petition.
