We had looked into email or sms traffic alerts at WSDOT (www.wsdot.wa.gov) and figured by the time any decent sized system was finished sending the alerts the problem would have been taken care of long ago. Suppose I should call them up and see how they are doing this. I do notice that the cameras are coming from the cali dot so that is not adding to their bandwidth needs. Not too impressed that the traffic cameras only work in IE, I suppose there is plugin I could get for firefox but why taint such a fine product.
