An annual traffic survey reveals Calgary has the least traffic congestion among big cities in Canada, and it’s actually getting better.

Vancouver remains Canada’s most congested city, followed by Toronto and Montreal, according to the 2016 TomTom Traffic Index. The survey finds the average time drivers waste sitting in traffic has dipped over the past year, with Vancouver motorists cutting their time in traffic jams by an average of four hours.

TomTom says Toronto drivers reduced their average time in traffic congestion by 11 hours, while Montreal drivers saved about 30 minutes.

The navigation and mapping product company credits infrastructure investments and better traffic management, noting the declines are the first in Vancouver since 2010, while Toronto and Montreal haven’t seen drops since 2012.

“We really want everybody to think about how they can lower the amount of time they waste in traffic every day, and to realize that we all need to play a part,” said TomTom Traffic vice-president, Ralf-Peter Schaefer.
