By 2020, about two-thirds of Lake's arterial highways are expected to be congested. Rail transit is used for 3.7 percent of all work trips in Lake County today, although train ridership increased 32 percent in the last 10 years. People who take the train usually drive to the station. Bus travel accounts for half a percent of work trips.

People paying attention are very anxious to get things done.
