There are a number of interstate highways that have MySpace profiles. These profiles are not created or maintained by any particular organization, but are a sign of people’s affection for different roads. I-80, I-43, and I-95 are just a few of the highways with MySpace profiles that let fans connect with their favorite stretch of pavement.

Mobile Millennium is a project through the California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), the UC Berkeley College of Engineering, Caltrans, USDOT, Nokia, and NAVTEQ. It uses GPS data from smartphones to have vehicles act as probes to measure traffic flow. This information is displayed on the phone to relay traffic conditions. Currently the pilot only covers the San Francisco Bay Area, though there are plans to expand it.
