COVID-19 Waze Traffic Alert Dashboard

Volpe developed a COVID-19 Waze Traffic Alert Dashboard in March 2020 to track relative changes in weekly traffic jam alerts for all U.S. metropolitan areas. The SDC enabled the team to leverage existing crowdsourced traffic incident activity and rapidly developed a dashboard using existing code. The team has continued to provide weekly updates through 2022. The Waze dashboard provides a rapid indicator of traffic jams covering all U.S. metropolitan areas, increasing accessibility to state, metropolitan, and county-level time trends. This ongoing project aims to enhance the dashboards for broader use by U.S. DOT.
