The amount of time that Washingtonians spend looking for parking more than triples the national average, according to a new report.

Transportation analytics company INRIX surveyed nearly 6,000 drivers in 10 U.S. cities to gather data on how long it takes people to find parking and how much they pay once they find a space.

In the District, drivers spend an average of 10 minutes per trip searching for curbside parking and nine minutes trying to secure off-street parking, totaling 65 hours a year, according to the report. And scoring a parking space in the city comes with an average annual cost of $1,367.

This compares to a national average of 17 hours per year searching for parking and a cost of $345 per driver in wasted time, fuel, and emissions.

As for hours spent, D.C. doesn’t have it worst, according to the study. Our city places 4th in INRIX’s ranking following New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, respectively.

However, at $18 every two hours, District residents spend more money on parking than the two California cities.

The study also found that, nationally, drivers add an extra 13 hours a year when paying for parking to avoid potential tickets, which totals more than $20 billion.

A recent report from AAA Mid-Atlantic said that, despite D.C. raising parking fines to $30 in 2015 and increasing rates at meters in 2016, parking ticket revenue declined by nearly $20 million dollars in 2016. With $68.2 million in parking fees last year, the District had the lowest ticket revenue this decade.

AAA Mid-Atlantic credited the declines to things like tech advances in meters and parking apps.
