Fort Worth - A new study finds that traffic in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is the 5th worst in the entire country.

John Horsley, Executive Director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, relayed the information during a news conference Monday at the National Association of County Engineers' annual conference.

The AASHTO's report, Transportation Reboot: Unlocking Gridlock, is the first in a series aimed at boosting transportation capacity.

It identifies what the agency considered needed projects across the country, including in Texas. 

The study says bottlenecks cause 40% of all congestion, and the gridlock costs Americans time and money.

The solutions presented Monday include using millions of dollars to build new highways. 

Texas, however, does not have the funding.
