Missouri Department of Transportation Extends Traffic.com Partnership to Enhance Digital Traffic Services

WAYNE, Pa.--Traffic.com, Inc. , the leading provider of personalized traffic information for drivers coast-to-coast, today announced the extension of its relationship with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to provide additional digital traffic services for the St. Louis metropolitan area. Through this $1.7 million agreement, Traffic.com will be expanding upon the network of its digital roadside traffic sensors originally deployed by Traffic.com in 2005.

Through this agreement, Traffic.com will be expanding its St. Louis sensor network to monitor 140 lane miles on roadways predominantly located outside the I-270 beltway including I-44, I-55 and US-40/I-64. The network will be fully deployed within 15 months.

These new Traffic.com sensors will work in conjunction with the existing sensor network to collect and process comprehensive traffic data in real time. Traffic.com will continue to share traffic data with MoDOT for incident and accident reports, vehicle speeds, congestion levels, and travel times to help improve work zone safety, emergency response, and highway operations.

Traffic.com also provides this vital traffic information free to St. Louis area drivers. By visiting www.traffic.com, drivers can create and save their daily commutes or weekend travel routes. Following sign-up and the set up of custom traffic reports and alerts, users receive MyTraffic personalized traffic services, which include phone alerts, mobile e-mail alerts, SMS reports, and desktop e-mail alerts. For traffic information on-demand at any time, all St. Louis drivers can call Traffic.com's traffic hotline at 1-866-MY-TRAFC (1-866-698-7232), access mobi.traffic.com for wireless Web access, or send the text message STLOU to TRAFC (87232) for a real-time city report.

We are very pleased to continue our relationship with Traffic.com for the delivery of free, real-time traffic information to St. Louis area drivers, said Thomas Blair, assistant district engineer, Missouri Department of Transportation. When looking to expand the MoDOT sensor system, we reviewed several options and again selected Traffic.com, the clear leader in delivering comprehensive, accurate, real-time traffic solutions efficiently, effectively, and in a format drivers want and need.

Traffic.com provides customized, flexible traffic solutions to numerous public agencies across the nation, said David L. Jannetta, president, Traffic.com. By using our proven technology and traffic-gathering resources to implement a low-cost, turnkey system, agencies and taxpayers save millions of dollars, while receiving the very best traffic information the industry has to offer.

Traffic.coms data and custom solutions are also currently used by many radio and television partners in the St. Louis area, including KTVI-TV, KMOV-TV, KFTK-FM, KIHT-FM, KPNT-FM, and KSHE-FM. The expanded sensor coverage will further enhance the breadth and depth of the traffic reports provided by these broadcast partners as well.
