The Kool FM Traffic Alert application provides instant personal traffic updates by means of hands-free visual and audio alerts, right to your smartphone. This application is customized to the Barrie and Simcoe county residents, and with the pre-recorded community favourite routes tailored to the popular daily commutes. This application does not work outside of the central Ontario region.
You will join with thousands of users within this network to make the TrafficAlert service the best traffic reporting systems for the Simcoe County and beyond. The service relies on users like you to passively and actively tell other users the traffic conditions ahead. Whenever a user is stuck in traffic, that information is passed onto the entire user network. You can also report a traffic tip by touching a button to our toll-free traffic reporting centre.

The next time you travel on the same route, call up your recorded route from Kool FM Traffic Alert. You will hear real-time traffic alert specific to your route instantly.
