Transportation Management Center Website To Be Offline Friday

You know the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center website you go to in order to see how traffic is flowing, where there are accidents, and how to avoid traffic jams and congestion? Well, it's going to be offline this Friday for some maintenance.

The SRTMC site will be down for approximately 6 to 8 hours on October 16, from 8:30 a.m. until about 3:30 p.m. The outage is scheduled for workers to install an uninterrupted power supply to the SRTMC. That means, in the event of a power outage, a generator would automatically take over to power the Transportation Management Center and ensure that the SRTMC website remained online.

The goal of SRTMC staff on Friday is to have the site up and running again before the evening rush hour.
