Mi Drive app is available

The Michigan Department of Transportation says there have been more than 40,000 downloads of the free Mi Drive traffic information app since it was introduced in November 2014. State Transportation Director Kirk Steudle says Mi Drive uses Intelligent Transportation Systems technology, speed sensors, cameras and cell phone data to provide motorists with up-to-date construction information, traffic incidents, traffic cams, and weather-related road conditions on I, M and US routes across the state. The site currently displays real-time traffic camera views, real-time color-coded speeds on major routes, message boards, work zones, rest areas and Welcome Centers across Michigan, M-DOT carpool lots, and National Weather Service forecasts by city, name or zip code. The free app is available on iOS and Android devices. To download, go to iTunes or Google Play and search for MDOT or Mi Drive. The address for both the desktop and mobile versions of the website is michigan.gov/drive. M-DOT plans to update the Mi Drive app as needed.  (MRN)
