 Wisconsin
Highways

infrastructure. It covers everything from the history and organization
of the State and County Trunk Highway system to the implementation of
a uniform numbering system and the construction of the US and Interstate
Highway systems.
Updating the Wisconsin Idea
During the next 20 years, 72,000 more people will call Dane County home.
How much new housing will need to be built for them? How will all this
new development affect agricultural land in the county? What will it cost?
UW-Madison faculty are working with government officials on these and
other questions to ensure that this growth does not lower the quality
of life in Dane County.

Electronic Reader: Milwaukee Depot
"The first depot in Milwaukee, used by the Milwaukee & Waukesha Railroad
and the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad from the opening of the Waukesha
Road until the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway acquired possession of the
Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad in 1868 and diverted the passenger trains
to the Union Depot on Reed Street.
Railway Societies
The National Railway Historical Society seeks to preserve the history
of the rails. In 1935 a group of rail historians formed the National Railway
Historical Society. From fewer than 40 persons, the NRHS has grown to
include over 17,000 men and women of all ages and professions in every
state and many foreign countries, making it the nation's largest rail
historical society.
Transportation
at UW-Madison: Recommendations for an Integrated System
By students in Environmental Studies 600, December 1992. The purpose
in creating this document was to analyze existing transportation data
and to create a transportation plan for the UW-Madison campus community.
By taking into account the possibility of an increased demand for campus
parking they have developed several transportation recommendations. These
recommendations were devised to be economically feasible for the university
and environmentally sound for the campus and the Madison community.
Robot Invasion
Robot cars: Coming not-so-soon to a highway near you As Sojourner (the
Mars rover) showed, driving by computer is not too difficult, when you
don't have to worry about traffic -- or staying on the (non-existent)
pavement.
The
Scout Report: U.S. Traffic Problems
As the number of miles logged on the US Interstate Highway System continued
to increase dramatically over the past decade, many major metropolitan
areas have seen traffic and commuting times grow rapidly.
Land Use Index
The goal of Shaping Dane is to provide local communities with the opportunity
to participate in community-based, technology-linked land use decision-making.
The Better Bus
If you need a ride home from UW-Madison to the Twin Cities over a break
in classes, there is isn't a much better alternative than the Better Bus.
It is a student-run business that caters to the students. The drop-off
and pick-up points are probably much more convienent for you than the
Greyhound, and that's just one great feature. Plus, it's usually cheaper
and faster than the Greyhound. If this portal were going to endorse a
business, the Better Bus would probably be it.
