Open the app, search for any location in the search bar, and see travel times for driving and/or transit options to that location provided by Google. Tap on an option to see detailed driving or transit directions, then tap on the Waze button to open the Waze App for navigation to your destination (installation of Waze app is required to use this feature).
Access to VDOT cameras, incident reports, construction, bridge openings, and more is provided on the map by toggle option from the overlays menu in the upper right. Tap the pencil in this menu to re-order the Map Layers in the menu as you desire.
The main menu in the upper left provides access to Twitter feeds, cameras by route, travel times for predefined road segments, links to other commuter services for your area, and more. Settings can be accessed at the bottom of the main menu, and includes an option to sign up for trip notifications. Trip notifications allow you to define a recurring trip and desired arrival time, and receive a push notification in advance of the necessary departure time based upon the current traffic each day. Please note that traffic conditions can change rapidly, and travel and arrival times are a best estimate, but can never be a guarantee.
Additional information available in Northern Virginia includes VRE rail and PRTC bus schedules and routes, along with real-time VRE train locations. A unique feature provides a limited ability to see drive-to-transit options for these services when the “Nearby Transit Options” is selected from certain directions results. These services will be expanded in the future to include more agencies statewide. Other features in the app will also continue to be enhanced over time.

Great app for viewing Virginia traffic live cams & checking road conditions

Great app for viewing Virginia traffic live cams & checking road conditions—free, just like on their website. What’s not to like? :)
Not working

Cannot open 95 camera section on app. Tried everything including deleting and reinstalling
Worthless
Lynniej64
Worthless waste of space. Roadwork for 20 miles. Exits closed causing a detour back to point of origin. Had to start over on backroads. Layers set correctly but app gives an all clear.
What happened? UPDATED

There used to be multiple I-495 cameras between the Dulles toll road and I-66, but now they are gone. I used to rely heavily on this app but it’s value has disappeared along with those cameras. 11/7/2018 Update: As explained by app support, cameras are back online after technical issue was identified and fixed. I used the app this morning and saw an accident was moved to the shoulder. Thanks for fixing it!
Please fix app so it does not turn off audio

It would be nice if the app would allow background audio to continue playing when looking at the traffic cameras. It doesn’t really make sense as the traffic cameras do not feature any audio. Therefore music, podcast, audiobook, etc should be allowed to continue playing uninterrupted. Additionally on some of the cameras it can hard to figure out the direction of travel the camera is facing. Thank you.
Helpful app

I enjoy using this app. One recommendation to Trip Notifications...is it possible to add a date feature and not just days of the week? What if you only go to a location monthly or bi-weekly or just once? How the app is set up now, you will be notified weekly until you remove the notification.
Was good....

Was a great app, but now the app will not stay open. Closes itself out EVERY time I try to use it. Needs to be fixed. I have closed out the app, restarted my phone and even deleted the app and reinstalled it, still doesn’t work.
App keeps crashing
too dumb not to listen
When it works it’s great! But every time I’ve used it lately it crashes immediately. Time for an app fix.
App crashes constantly now.

App used to work good but now crashes before it will completely open. iPhone version.
