With the launch of MoDOT’s new Traveler Information Map mobile app, Missouri travelers can get the latest information on road conditions, work zones, flooding and incidents on their iPhones and Androids.
The Map App offers the same information as its online big brother, the Traveler Information Map, but with the convenience people have come to expect with the mobile revolution.
When the map loads, users see the entire state at a glance and can zoom in for a better view by tapping the screen on iPhones or using the pan and zoom buttons on the Android version. Weather-related road conditions are loaded as a default, but users can view work zones and incidents by tapping the “Conditions” button and choosing their display options. Even still shots of traffic cameras are a view option.
Radar images supplied by the National Weather Service are also available so travelers can keep an eye on continuously changing weather conditions and plan their trips accordingly.
Information is updated continuously throughout snow and ice events. For incidents, work zones and flooding, visitors can tap on icons for more information on delays.
Easy to use, easy to install, the app is available at both the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace. And if drivers want more information not offered on the map, MoDOT’s customer service phone number is just a tap away!
The Traveler Information Map is only one tool Missouri travelers should use when driving across the Show-Me state. Local weather reports and law enforcement alerts should also be a part of any traveler plan, especially during the winter months.
As always, MoDOT urges people to not use their mobile device while driving.
