UDOT's Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) uses technology to save lives, time, and money.

Ratings and reviews

UI not very user friendly. When trying to swith between alerts, maps, etc., the menu is almost blacked out and difficult to read especially during the day if you have even the slightest glare. If the UI was as pictured in the advertized screenshots, I would have given 5 stars as the app is very helpful and contains a lot of useful information. ***Update** They appear to have fixed the menu, but now everything is in a very bright magenta background without any way to change this.

Probably the best dot app I've used. Love the forecast option that shows road conditions broken down into 3 hour segments. All around just a great app! For anyone with the instant crash issue, they put out a second update that fixed the issue for me. For the guy who can check road conditions, turn off the little location icon and it will let you move around to any part of the map.

I love using this app. It used to have a crash issue on startup, but after emailing the developer they fixed it and let me know so I could update the app - great response. I use the traffic cameras to see my commute for weather and accidents. The cameras update every minute or two. Highly recommended if you commute through bad weather zones to plan your drive.
