Ethiopia’s economy has made significant strides forward since the beginning of the 21st century. However, along with this, there is a high rate of urbanization, and internal migration, which lead to an increase in the number of vehicle owners in Addis Ababa city, causing traffic congestion problems. This is adversely impacting the socioeconomic and well-being of the residents. Therefore, this study attempted to identify the perception of drivers and passengers on the socio-economic impact (SEI) of traffic congestion in Addis Ababa city by taking the study corridors in the Kolfe keraniyo sub-city. Nine segments were sampled. Data collection included questionnaires distributed among 3240 respondents. A generalized ordered logit model was used. Accordingly, age, income, household size, gender, education, and respondent type (driver or passenger) were significant variables. The descriptive statistical results also indicated that the first, second, and third significant SEI perceived by the respondents were late arrival to the office, extra time added to the car or bus journey, and the increased risk of being in an accident. The outcomes of this study, including the responses to the research inquiries and the acquisition of extensive scientific knowledge, will contribute to the formulation of comprehensive mitigation strategies and management plans.
