IDOT Recommends Travel Midwest Commuter App

Travel Midwest app available for iPhone, Android.

Travelers in the greater Chicago metro area can find assistance in planning their commute with the Travel Midwest app. The app was first introduced in the fall of 2012. The Illinois Department of Transportation is encouraging Chicago area muncipalities to publicize the app, according to Lake Zurich Village President Suzanne Branding. The Lake Zurich village website has featured the app on its home page. 

Travel Midwest is the official iPhone/Android app of the popular travelmidwest.com travel website. It provides a traffic map that extends from Milwaukee to the Quad Cities to southwestern Michigan.

Map layers include Travel Times, Expressway Congestion, Arterial Congestion, Expressway Construction, Arterial Construction, and Incidents.
