Plan Your Commute
Use WSDOT's
95% Reliable Travel Times commute calculator. This feature accesses travel
time data to provide a reasonable approximation of the "worst case" travel time
scenario during weekdays. It's easy to use. Enter:
- Where you are starting from,
- Where you are going,
- What time you need to get there.
The calculator will show you how long it will take to make the trip and when you
will need to leave to arrive at your destination on time.
We also recommend using
archived traffic maps if you are planning a future trip. By viewing a number
of archived maps, you can develop a feel for the variety of traffic conditions you
might encounter.
