Pimp My Drive

... in a matter of minutes find out how this could be YOU!

When I first took this traffic job my friends and family in the area asked?

Do you really want to come back to DC... do you really want to do this? The Traffic is just

"ABOMINABLE!!!"

They were right but I realized... the morning shift would mean driving in very very early.. and leaving work early again. In a day, I'd beat the drive twice so many dread... what were the others thinking... this gig sounds GREAT!

As you would guess..it wasn't MY commute they were concerned about. They were more worried about me becoming the local person to ruin YOUR morning, every morning.

You could think of a lot of things to call me but I admit so far I haven't heard 'em. Afterall, I'm giving you stuff you wanna know right? Accidents and ways around them, the extra time you'll need in the car, lanes closed..ramps reopened ... the list goes on.

On TV I only have a matter of seconds to share with you my up-to-the-minute reports. I do my best to cover every road and every tie-up... but we all know in broadcasting it's impossible everytime to SQUEEZE it all in!

Once there you can custom build your very own traffic report. Smartly tailored to the streets you take to work everday. C'mon give me 5, I'll map it out.

What is an alert?
Every day we'll e-mail you a summary of the roads with the worst traffic. If the alert lists something along your route click through to see details. Then decide to leave later or take an alternate route.

Also a reason to add my traffic link as a "Favorite". You can instantly check out the JAM FACTOR on the site before leaving your pad.

On windy days when our traffic cameras are a-shakin' you'll often hear me refer to the shot courtesy our "earthquake cam". Well the Jam Factor is really like the "Richter Scale" for traffic. We use digital sensors in addition to detailed accident, construction and congestion info to get the one number that matters to you!

Here's how it works:
The Jam Factor is measured on a scale of 0-10, with 10 representing the worst traffic conditions. This numerical scale also provides color coding to give you a quick, at-a-glance picture of your road.

You can also see 3 vitals between point A and point B: delay length, travel time and the avg speed drivers are going.

So what do you say? You ready to "Pimp Your Drive"????

We got all the goods you need to Customize a Report to put you on the Right Road at the Right Time. It doesn't get more personal than that, my friend.
