I'm so jealous. I agree…the KQED traffice reports are definitely a lifesaver but I would trade my left leg for not have to NEED them!

In D.C. they were just on *all the time!* The station I listened to most had recently started this thing where apparently there were sensors on major traffic routes that timed the speed of traffic and could tell you how long a commute would take from A to B and how much faster or slower that time was compared to the average. They could also send you customized traffic reports/commute routes on your email or cell phone. Pretty high tech and very useful if you had to commute by car in D.C. I'm just glad I didn't and I'm happy to live in a place where no one really would benefit from such services. At least for the time being.

In fact, I'd never heard traffic reports on public radio till I was driving through Houston listening to public radio and caught a traffic report. While some of it is a lack of need (e.g., Montana), some of it is, I'm sure, funding related. Because, honestly, Austin could definitely use traffic updates on KUT. (And I mean real traffic updates, not the occassional notices from the station about the incredibly bizarre syrup truck that overturned on the interstate.)
