Title: The road more traveled
First published: 2006
Description: "Though often dismissed as a minor - if irritating - nuisance, congestion constrains our personal and professional lives, making it harder to find a good job, spend time with our families, and maintain profitable businesses. The Road More Traveled demonstrates these insidious effects and offers new policy solutions for bringing our roads up to speed."

"Balaker and Staley explain how a misguided belief in ten myths of "car-crazy" suburbia makes us hesitant to embrace the right solutions. They also explore how a "Congestion Coalition" refuses to fix the problem. Despite these obstacles, Balaker and Staley show how we can apply meaningful transportation policy innovations to tame congestion and adopt important lessons learned from our global competitors to change course. The Road More Traveled points the way to a dynamic future in which people, products, and ideas move about freely and U.S. cities remain competitive in a global economy."--Jacket.
