Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Nov. 17 a new mobile app for the New York State Thruway Authority. The app is available for free on iPhone and Android devices, and includes real-time traffic alerts, navigation assistance, and detailed Thruway services information covering 570 miles of highway. "New York continues to meet the needs of 21st century travelers, and ahead of the busy holiday season, the launch of this new app will provide reliable, advanced technology to keep motorists informed and safe," Cuomo said. "By connecting travelers with real-time information, this new app will help ease travel along the Thruway, promote responsible driving habits, and support an easier, less congested holiday commute for all."
