GET TRAFFIC NEWS ON YOUR PALM

Houston TranStar announced this week that it is beginning a free service to send notices of traffic delays to motorists’ mobile devices. The notices can be sent to color Palms, pocket PCs, and certain Blackberrys. To sign up to receive e-mails, go to the TranStar website. Drivers may choose the freeways, days, and times for which they want to receive alerts. Houston TranStar can also send maps of traffic or construction sites and information about other delays to mobile devices.
