Hi All,
One of the great things that our federal government does is publish extensively on a wide variety of topics. For purposes of this blog entry, I'm going to discuss the 'Travel, Transportation, and Recreation' section of the USA.gov website.
Simply put, USA.gov is a central repository for all research, studies, white papers, articles, comments, editorials, summaries, annotations, pamphlets, and more that the federal government publishes and generates. In and of itself, the website is an extraordinarily large storehouse of government generated information. You don't want to miss it if you like research on a topics as varied as Consumer Protection, Government Sales and Auctions, Blood Donations, Historic Places and Preservation and much more.
The Travel, Transportation and Recreation section has lots of different sections - the most interesting of which (to my way of thinking at least) - is the 'Road and Train Travel' section -which can be found by clicking on this link.
The links in this category will help you find resources on local gas prices, road closures, traffic information and more. Click on this link - to fueleconomy.gov - to find gas prices on Long Island.
Click on this link for a whole host of gas mileage tips from the folks at fueleconomy.gov. Finally, users might want to click on this link from Natural Resources Canada entitled 'Fuel-efficient Driving Techniques'. Finally, this last set of links discuss Distracted Driving and is brought to you buy the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Finally, click on this link for National Traffic and Road Closure Information in New York State - brought to you by the Federal Highway Administration.
Enjoy the links - I hope they help you save money, time and keep you busy during the long, summer driving season ahead!
Regards,
Stu
