New weather info service provider geared to mobile devices
October 3, 2023
With winter coming soon, we’re working with a new service provider to get Iowa DOT field forces the information they need to make the best treatment decisions in winter weather.
Tina Greenfield from the Maintenance Bureau said, “We get a lot of feedback from the crews in the field and one thing we heard consistently was that the weather information needed to be simplified. Our previous provider had a very complex website with a lot of great information, but in talking to the supervisors, most of them just didn’t have the time to sit at a computer and go through all of that. The new provider has a user-friendly app that supervisors and others can use to get just the information they need in a mobile format, although there is a website component, as well.”
