On November 4th, 2010, the Travel Midwest Truckers Report won the ITS Midwest Project of the Year award. While commercial vehicles provide a significant portion of the traffic on both interstates and arterials in the Travel Midwest area, there was no single location where the unique data needs of the trucking community were addressed. As a result, it was determined that the revised Travelmidwest.com web site should have a section addressing the unique commercial carrier needs. This section is titled the Travel Midwest Truckers Report. | ||
