WTAM Traffic Center Version 7.5
Just as you blame Holly, Betsy, AJ & Bruce for bad weather, we are who you curse for that accident on the East Shoreway. The WTAM Traffic Center can't prevent that accident or slowdown but we do our best to help you around it; all day, everyday, 24/7.
With strategically placed cameras, Pat Butler at Channel 3, our two mobile units, Nate in the CVS Samaritan Van, data partner INRIX and most importantly you, the listener, calling in on the tip line we do our best to get you from Point A to Point B without any problems.
216-986-8888
The Traffic Tip Line is open 24/7 to take in any fender benders, washer/dryer combos on the roadway or acts of god causing general road closures. Program 216-986-8888 into your speed dial. A good tip now could mean a $100 Circle K Gift Card. You could use it for gas, cigarettes, the lunch you forgot to pack or maybe even buy 169 of your friends a Polar Pop. Congratulations to our past winners:

The "Who" in getting you "Where"
Faith Nezovich
The central nervous system of the WTAM Traffic Center. She coordinates all the information from our various sources during your morning and evening rush.
Dave Ramos
Your traffic center anchor helping you get to work with Wills and Synder on the :10, :20, :40 & :50. Dave ties together total team coverage from Pat Butler and the mobile units on the interstates. Plus, tune in at 5:50 and 7:50 during Wills and Snyder for your daily dose of entertainment news and celeb gossip with The Scoop. And don't miss The Ramos File, right after Rush's morning update at 6:55.
** Don't miss Ramos Radio on Saturdays since the French guy is gone.
Pat Butler
Our pretty face for the camera, Pat, brings you live reports from Channel 3 every morning and holds down the fort after the morning rush. He anchors top and bottom of the hour reports with additional coverage for Dave Ramos. In addition, you can hear Pat as one of the Prize Guys on The Contest Show.
Matt Bean
Beans is the man covering your afternoon drive. Starting 4pm Matt goes live during news and whenever Triv feels like it. He also gets you around trouble on your way to Progressive Field during Tribe Insider.
