Traffic.com, Inc. has launched a free, interactive traffic hotline for drivers - 1-866-MY-TRAFC (1-866-698-7232). Beginning today, drivers in 40 U.S. metropolitan areas can access this one-of-a-kind traffic reporting service when, where, and as often as they need it. This is the newest feature in Traffic.com's my traffic.com(TM) suite of personalized services, which deliver accurate, real-time traffic information to drivers online, or to their email, phone and PDA.
When drivers call 1-866-MY-TRAFC, they receive a detailed traffic report that includes a Jam Factor rating (a traffic scale that grades traffic conditions from 0-10 with 10 representing the worst possible traffic conditions); travel and delay times; accident reports; construction delays; and more.
Registered users of the http://www.traffic.com Web site can access their saved, personalized drives via the hotline; unregistered users will be prompted for their city and the roadway on which they are traveling. The driver will then receive the real-time traffic report for that particular drive or road.
Editors note:
The service is free and appears to work fine. I have used it in several different areas and was pleased with the results. There is a brief advertisement prior to you getting the report...very brief.
If you are in one of the areas indicated on the map, this just might be a number you want to keep saved on your phone.
