Yeah, but you could be cooler. The only people who can really use GIS’s have experience in engineering, planning, or IT. Admit it, as cool as a GIS system is, it is NOT something your wife could use (or hasband–sorry). The general public does not use it, most of the agency staff can’t use it, many don’t even know how to access it (or want to). And if they did have instructions on how to use it, would give up pretty quickly (probably when instructed to download and install the Autodesk viewer or similar). There are easier systems out there but I won’t mention them because they make it harder for me to make my point 
Don’t get me wrong–I love GIS and Online Traffic Data does not replace it, rather it is an additional way to access data, specifically, traffic data. It is an easy way to enter and view traffic data from multiple agencies all in one place using a method everyone already knows how to use (Google Maps).
Want to make someone happy? Put their traffic data online: Simple to view, simple to use.
