INRIX Releases New App to Help You Avoid Traffic Gridlock and Finally Stop Being Late

Living in Atlanta, there’s one thing I have begrudgingly become accustomed to dealing with — sitting in traffic. All that wasted time. All that stress! Sure, GPS and smartphones with turn-by-turn navigation help — but rarely pick up accident information until it’s too late. That’s where INRIX, a leading provider of traffic information, comes in. Need to know the best time to leave the office to make it across town for that meeting with the CEO? Don’t want to be late for that big date you’ve spent months planning? Check out the new iPhone and iPad apps that INRIX has to offer — beginning today! For Free!! Let’s check it out…

See Geoff Walker, Director of Consumer Marketing for INRIX, show off the features of the new INRIX Traffic App for iPhone & iPad.

INRIX reports that Drivers Idle More Than 40 Hours A Year inAmerica’s Ten Worst Traffic Cities and waste over 60 hours annually on the most gridlocked roads in the U.S. Will the INRIX traffic app really save you time and get you out of traffic — for the price of $0.00 (as in Free)??
