Your commute just got an upgrade. iHeartRadio has officially launched TrafficNOW, bringing real-time, human-read local traffic reports — once exclusive to radio broadcasts — directly to the iHeartRadio app. With just a tap, listeners in 130+ markets across the U.S. can now get up-to-the-minute traffic updates anytime, whether they're at home, at work, or on the road.

This innovative feature delivers the same trusted voices and localized accuracy that radio listeners rely on — but now with the convenience and flexibility of digital access. So, whether someone’s stuck in traffic or cruising on the open road, TrafficNOW delivers value — and visibility — in motion. With iHeartRadio TrafficNOW, local traffic updates have never been more accessible

How It Works:

Search & Go: Simply search "traffic" in the iHeartRadio app to hear the latest local traffic report — instantly and on demand.

Smart Access: Users can save reports as a preset in the app for one-tap access anytime, whether on mobile or in the car via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Your personalized traffic report is just a tap away!
