Chronicle transportation columnist Lucas Wall reports that TranStar has launched a personal alerts service for motorists in Houston.
The service has been available as a demonstration project for the last year. Subscribers can receive alerts on any device capable of text messaging or email (phone, pda, pager, or the like), and alert profiles can be individually tailored for location, time, and incident.
The Houston Business Journal first reported on the launch of the service on September 30, scooping the Chronicle and its dedicated transportation columnist by roughly two weeks.
TranStar’s personalized alert system can be accessed here.
