With the first storm of the season giving Arapahoe Basin and Loveland a respectable late-October base, the ski season is well underway! Starting in November, GoI70.com will provide our readers with our best estimate for traffic patterns in advance of each weekend and holiday. Of course weather and bad drivers are beyond our control, but we will pour over historical traffic data and do our best to guide you to a delay free trip to and from the mountains.

Are you a Jackrabbit? GoI70 Jackrabbits are travelers just like you who provide real time updates from the road (pull over or have your passenger text please) sharing what you are experiencing on I70. Other than a Twitter account, there is no signing up. From your phone’s browser go to GoI70.com/mobile, click on Messages and share your observations with the GoI70 social network.

Want to know how long the delay might be before you jump on the road, or if there is an accident causing back ups? Follow GoI70 on Twitter to receive the latest road and traffic updates.

GoI70 is geared up for the winter season and ready to help you experience“More Mountains, Less Traffic.”

GoI70.com is looking for Jackrabbits – volunteers to help test and give feedback on the GoI70 mobile phone application. The application is the mobile connection to the GoI70 social network, travel alerts and road information.  Users will receive mobile phone updates of I-70 road conditions and speeds, and can send and read messages by other users along the highway.

The mobile software is in an early beta stage of development. It will be revised and expanded in response to the testers feedback on ease of use and desired features. The mobile app testers are the first members of the I-70 Jackrabbit Corps which is the core of the I-70 social network.

We are looking for people with advanced smart phones (iPhone, recent model Blackberrys or Android-based phones) who drive the I-70 corridor. Testers will load the application on to their phone and use it when they are traveling I-70. We need volunteers who will participate in our traffic monitoring program and send messages to the I-70 social network about driving conditions encountered in their travels. Because this is software in early development we are looking for volunteers with a healthy curiosity about new technology, a bit of free time and lots of patience.

If you are interested, send an email to info@i70solutions.org Tell us your name, smart phone type and model, phone number, and an email address where we can send you information.
