What is claimed is: 1. A traveler information dissemination system, comprising: a traveler information selection utility for storing user criteria organized by location codes; at least one data source for providing current data relating to traveling conditions; a data processing system for producing quality data, the quality data comprising current data that is as complete and timely as is presently available, and a corresponding location code from the current data, wherein the data processing system stores the quality data and location code; and, a publishing system for obtaining traveler information from the quality data based on the location code and providing the traveler information to a user according to the user criteria. 2. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the user criteria comprises at least one of: day of week, date, time, severity level, direction and location. 3. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the traveler information selection utility is accessible through the Internet. 4. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the traveler information selection utility accepts user criteria provided by a wireless device. 5. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 4, wherein the wireless device comprises at least one of a global positioning system receiver and a cellular telephone. 6. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the current data comprises at least one of vehicular incident information, vehicular speed and congestion information, public event information, weather information, and user input. 7. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, comprising: at least one feeding program for at least one of including a unique identification in the current data, transferring the current data and repackaging the current data. 8. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the quality data comprises at least one of geographic coordinates, a severity level, an identification code, an end time, and a direction. 9. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the publishing system comprises an abbreviation engine for providing traveler information in an abbreviated form. 10. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the publishing system comprises at least one of a data publisher and a data dispatcher. 11. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, wherein the publishing system comprises a graphical icon publisher for generating graphical icons descriptive of a class of traveler information. 12. A traveler information dissemination system as in claim 1, further comprising a diagnostic program for evaluation of the system. 13. The traveler information dissemination system of claim 1, wherein each location code corresponds to one of one or more sections of one or more roadways. 14. The traveler information dissemination system of claim 13, wherein each section of the one or more roadways is assigned a unique location code. 15. A computer implemented method for disseminating traveler information to a user, comprising: storing user criteria for selecting the traveler information, wherein the user criteria are organized by a user criteria location code; collecting current data relating to traveling conditions from at least one data source; determining a second location code for the current data; producing quality data from the current data, the quality data comprising current data that is as complete and timely as is presently available; storing the quality data and the second location code; and, providing the traveler information to the user according to the user criteria, wherein the traveler information is selected from the quality data by matching the second location code with the user criteria location code. 16. A method as in claim 15, wherein the second location code represents a location within the user criteria location code. 17. A method as in claim 15, wherein collecting comprises obtaining the current data and pushing the current data to the processing system. 18. A method as in claim 15, wherein producing quality data comprises determining for each piece of the current data and including in each piece of the current data at least one of: a geographical coordinate, a severity level and an end time. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein a given piece of current data does not include one or more items, wherein producing quality data comprises determining for the given piece the one or more items and providing the one or more items in quality data corresponding to the given piece, and wherein the one or more items comprises one or more of: a geographical coordinate, a severity level and an end time. 20. A method as in claim 15, wherein producing quality data comprises at least one of vehicular incident information, vehicular speed and congestion information, public event information, weather information, and user input. 21.
