The KanDrive app is the Kansas Department of Transportation's official traffic and traveler information app. The KanDrive app provides up-to-date traffic information for interstates, U.S. routes and state highways across Kansas.
FEATURES:
• Hands-free, eyes-free audio notifications of upcoming traffic events, detours, weather alerts, and rest areas while you drive
• A zoom-enabled map with tappable traffic event icons and surrounding camera views
• Near real-time updates on traffic incidents, construction, weather and road closures
• My KanDrive personalized accounts for quick access to favorite routes, areas, and camera views & sign up for email, text, push notifications
• View current traffic speeds and road conditions
• View traffic cameras throughout the state. Sign up for a My KanDrive account to save cameras for easy access.
• Hands-free, eyes-free public reporting feature that allows you to submit reports about concerns you encounter on the roadway
• CarPlay support for displaying upcoming high impact events like crashes, detours, and roadwork
• Access to additional traveler information resources
NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease device battery life.
The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of their vehicle. While traveling, mobile communication devices should be used only when the motor vehicle is at a complete stop, off the traveled portion of the roadway. Do not text and drive (it's against the law) or use this app while driving.

KanDrive is a service provided by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).
Love our K-Tags for local driving when streets are crowded with cars. Allows us to go around the congestion, saving more in fuel than we would have used sitting in traffic. Beware of scammers sending fake bills asking for small payments or you’ll get a fine to pay. KanDrive does not send text messages trying to collect fees.

I don’t spend a lot of time in Kansas anymore but I am happy to see that they, Kansas, finally made an app! The website was great but a weather app is better and easier to use.

Fantastic!

This is a very well done app. Thank you Kansas for putting this out. I have been hoping for an app that contained the content of the KanDrive website in an easy to use and intuitive interface. I only hope that they don’t bloat the app overtime and make it unusable, as is all too common these days.
Hundreds of texts and emails

Because of a highway closure? Why? Why did your programmers think it was necesssry to send messages every few minutes about the same road closure? All day long. Minute after minute. Messages and more messages with the exact same content that was delivered minutes before in the hundreds of previous messages about a single event. Garbage.
