I have one question though. However, I question that sprawl will persist just because the automobile will continue to be the superior transportation choice. Consider the information highway and its impact on the need for commuter transportation. With the nature of work and personal living changing as the services on the information highway continue to grow, we will be able to do anything from anywhere, without having to travel. A study out of George Mason University last year found that for every 1 percent of the regional work force that teleworks, there is a 3 percent reduction in traffic congestion.
Teleworking also benefits both employees and employers.
According to the International Telework Association and Council, telework results in increased productivity and worker retention. Good luck in finding such an alternative. John Guzobad, North Bergen, April 22 Message to unknown patron I have no way of knowing who found my lost insurance check, stapled it, and mailed it back to me. I would like that person to know that I shall never forget that kindness from a stranger. In gratitude, I shall send a token to my favorite charity.
