(06:58) CALIFORNIA – Caltrans officials are collaborating with the smart phone navigation app Waze in an effort to provide the public with better traffic and road information. Under their agreement, Caltrans will be able to use anonymous traffic and incident report data from Waze users. The gathered data will provide real-time travel information on Caltrans’ QuickMap. In turn, Waze will receive Caltrans’ reports on construction and road closures to share with its users. Both Caltrans and Waze hope the two-way data share will ease congestion by giving drivers more power to plan their commutes and trips. (S.G.)
