Congestion continues to grow in America¿s urban areas. This report presents details on the 2004 trends, findings and what can be done to address the growing transportation problems. Trend data from 1982 to 2002 for 85 urban areas provides both a local view and a national perspective on the growth and extent of traffic congestion. The 2004 Report provides clear evidence that the time for improvements has arrived. Communicating the congestion levels and the need for improvements is a goal of this report. The decisions about which, and how much, improvement to fund will be made at the local level according to a variety of goals, but there are some broad conclusions that can be drawn from this database.

This cooperative project of a group of German and American scholars represents an innovative approach to immigration research. The focus is on migrants from farming communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin in the nineteenth century: from the Westerwald to Reeseville; from the Cologne area of Cross Plains; from the Eifel to the so-called Holyland in Fond du Lac and Calumet Counties; and from Rhenish Hesse to Washington and Sheboygan Counties. Taking different approaches, the authors of the essays concentrate on the migrantsÆ relationship to the land, using, among other sources, official documents from both sides of the Atlantic, such as census and family records, land registers, plat maps, and land situation in their original home, the migration process itself, and their experience in Wisconsin.
