Wayne,PA-- Traffic.com, a NAVTEQ company (NYSE: NVT), and a leading provider of personalized traffic information, provides information to help drivers avoid the worsening traffic conditions reported in yesterday's Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) 2007 Urban Mobility Report. Traffic.com offers free, convenient solutions that equip drivers with the information they need to get where they're going faster.

According to the TTI report, 4.2 billion hours are spent stuck in traffic each year in the U.S., wasting 2.9 billion gallons of fuel at a cost of $78 billion. Traffic has gotten worse, affecting more of the day, and becoming more unpredictable. With morning and evening rush hours lasting as long as 3 hours in large U.S. urban areas, a reliable and immediate source of current roadway conditions is imperative for drivers. On-demand, real-time updates as well as scheduled alerts have become a necessity for on-the-go drivers.

"Free commuter solutions offered by Traffic.com keep drivers more informed and better able to plan routes to avoid traffic congestion," explained John MacLeod, Executive Vice President of NAVTEQ, "and we've packaged that information so it is at people's fingertips, wherever they may be."
