		<description><![CDATA[A new report confirms that traffic congestion in America&#8217;s cities eased in 2007, disrupting a long trend of steadily worsening traffic. It&#8217;s no surprise. High gas prices in the last half of 2007 discouraged some from driving as much. With the recession throwing more people out of work, we can expect the trend to continue for a [...]]]></description>
