To help 2006 Labor Day weekend travelers decide the best time to

and its incomparable database of real-time and historical traffic
data, Traffic.com has produced exclusive, easy-to-read charts that
show the Jam Factor(R) ratings throughout the Friday before Labor Day
for 2004 and 2005 in Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia and for 2005 in
San Diego.

the traffic information they need - whenever, wherever, and however

Traffic.com's Jam Factor combines real-time speed and travel time
measurements calculated from digital traffic sensors with information
from state-of-the-art operations centers to provide a user-friendly,
yet comprehensive, measure of the traffic intensity on a roadway. This
color-coded, numerical system clearly and consistently identifies
traffic conditions and delays on a scale from 0-10 with 10
representing the worst traffic conditions along the driver's route. A
Jam Factor of 7 means the commute time for a given distance will take
approximately double the drive time it would take at a roadway's
normal speed. The city Jam Factor Charts will help Labor Day holiday
drivers determine the best (and worst) times to start their holiday
travel.
"Millions of people already depend on free, real-time information
