COtrip Planner

The COtrip app, developed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), serves as the official platform for real-time traffic and traveler information within the state. It offers comprehensive coverage of Colorado's interstates, U.S. routes, and state highways, providing users with essential updates on traffic speeds, road conditions, maintenance activities, construction projects, restrictions, and closures. Additionally, the app features interactive map displays, camera images, live video streams, and a specialized mode for commercial truck operators, along with winter weather conditions and a plow tracker. In alignment with safety guidelines, the COtrip app emphasizes the importance of minimizing distractions while driving. It encourages users to prioritize safe vehicle operation and advises against using mobile devices or engaging with the app while actively driving. To support this message, the app includes a hands-free, eyes-free feature that verbally announces upcoming road conditions affecting the user's route. By promoting responsible driving habits and discouraging texting while driving, the app aims to enhance road safety and reduce the risk of accidents on Colorado's roadways. Feedback from users is highly valued by CDOT, and they encourage app users to share their suggestions, questions, or concerns via email. By fostering open communication with the public, CDOT aims to continuously improve the COtrip app and ensure that it meets the evolving needs of travelers in Colorado.
