What this is
A fast, focused commute dashboard built for people who travel to and from New York City every day. One screen, everything that matters.
How it works
- 1We pull live traffic data from TomTom, incidents from 511NY, and camera feeds from the state DOT — all refreshed automatically every 5 minutes.
- 2The dashboard adapts to your commute direction. In the morning, we prioritize routes into the city. In the evening, we surface the best way home.
- 3If you enable location, you can file quick route reports at nearby crossings and see what other commuters are reporting in real time.
Why use it
Know before you go
See live delays, incidents, and camera feeds before you leave the house. No more guessing whether the GWB is backed up.
Direction-aware commute view
The app automatically adjusts based on time of day: morning mode shows routes into the city, evening mode highlights the way home. One tap to switch.
Live traffic cameras
Peek at real-time 511NY cameras on every major crossing and approach route. See the actual road conditions, not just speed estimates.
Bus & driving routes together
Track both driving conditions and Coach USA / NJ Transit bus status in one place. Choose the best mode for today.
Incident alerts from 511NY
Real-time accident, construction, and closure reports from the official NY State feed. Filtered for the routes that matter to you.
Community pulse
See crowd-sourced route reports from fellow commuters near your location. Help others by reporting what you see at the bridge.
Privacy-first location
Location is only used to show nearby route reports and camera relevance. No tracking, no selling data. Enable it only if you want to contribute.
Major crossings covered
George Washington, Lincoln, Holland, Queensboro, Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Battery, Triboro, Throgs Neck, Whitestone, and Verrazzano.
