Traffic congestion is out of control in American cities. Building more and better roadways is too capital intensive and too slow. The same applies to upgrading mass transit. In Los Angeles alone, the largest personal automotive market in the country, there are over 5.8 million commuters who experience recurring delays 90% of the time they travel during peak hours (8 hours a day).** The key to alleviating traffic congestion is to provide individual drivers with timely, accurate and useful information on road conditions, so that they can make informed travel decisions. That means bypassing bottlenecks, spending less time on the road, reducing dangerous emissions, improving road safety and starting to recoup the more than $78 billion lost annually to traffic congestion.** Traffic jams can even cost us our very lives. By 2019, the nation’s worst traffic bottlenecks are on track to cause more than 287,000 accidents, including 141,000 injuries and1,150 fatalities.*** Now there’s an answer. Sporadic radio traffic reports simply provide too little information, often at the wrong times. Drivers need access to continuous, real-time, location-specific traffic information in a format that is easily understood and instantly actionable.
