35,000 users download TDOT’s New SmartWay application




More than 35,000 users have downloaded the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s SmartWay Mobile App since its launch in late December. The App is designed to help drivers navigate Tennessee highways, providing up-to-the-minute customized traffic information. The TDOT SmartWay App is free and available for download in the Apple App Store and Play Store for Android.

The home screen for the TDOT SmartWay App is a map which locates your current position. The icons on the left hand side of the map allow users to customize views to show traffic speeds, incidents, cameras, road construction, road conditions, and dynamic message sign displays. The TDOT SmartWay App also has features that will notify users of traffic incidents and set their favorite TDOT cameras.

The TDOT SmartWay App was developed by NIC. NIC is providing user support for the application. The Help Desk can be reached 24 hours a day by calling 615-313-0300 or 1-866-8TN-EGOV. For more information on how to use the TDOT SmartWay App, please visit www.tdot.state.tn.us/tdotsmartway/mobile.htm.

TDOT is asking motorists to use the TDOT SmartWay App responsibly by checking traffic conditions before leaving for their destination.
