FTA launches phone app to help drivers this summer

By John Simpson 19 July 2012

The Freight Transport Association has just launched a free smartphone app, designed to help business and freighters keep on the move during London 2012. With massive disruption a certainty in the capital, the FTA’s app contains all the important travel information drivers need to navigate the best routes in and around London this summer. That includes:

  • the latest traffic updates,
  • details of Games Lanes and Olympic and Paralympic Route Networks,
  • information on delivery arrangements,
  • a calendar of dates showing the expected congestion on each day of the Games,
  • a list of venues hosting events,
  • and links to helpful sites including Transport for London and London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The free app is available now for Apple and Android devices from the App Store and Google Play. More details can be found at www.fta.co.uk/mobileapp.
