Waze

Waze is a community-based traffic and navigation app. Drivers can share real time traffic and road information. Waze’s Connected Citizens Program brings cities and citizens together to answer the questions, “What’s happening, and where?” Established as a two-way data share, Waze provides users with real-time, anonymous, Waze-generated incident and traffic slowdown information directly from the source: drivers themselves. The RTC provides real-time, government-reported data on road construction, traffic accidents and road closures. The result is a succinct and thorough overview of current road conditions in Southern Nevada.

The data sharing partnership with Waze furthers the goal of RTC’s Seeing Orange campaign, which is to provide residents with information about the various construction projects occurring throughout the valley. More information about Seeing Orange can be found at SeeingOrangeNV.com.
