What can I buy?

Mile markers come both ways. Live road alerts are an API. Past alerts are a data license. Seattle bridge lift history comes both ways.

What the data looks like

The same data runs MileCheck's own app, so these screens are real output.

MileCheck app showing I-90 East at mile 50.4, with the distance to the markers on each side
Mile marker lookup. I-90 East, mile 50.4, 0.42 miles past marker 50. This is the answer the lookup returns, shown in our app.
MileCheck app alerts list for Washington with two southbound crashes on I-5, each with route and mile marker
Live alerts. Crashes grouped by route and direction, each with its mile marker, from the Washington DOT feed. The API returns the same alerts.

Who uses it?

Dispatch and emergency services

Turn a caller's GPS point into the highway and mile marker crews use. Use the API lookup for single calls, or the dataset for your own maps.

Fleet and routing software

Show live closures and crashes in your dispatch screens through one API, instead of one connection per state.

Navigation and traffic apps

Put mile markers on your map from the dataset. Add live alerts from the API.

State DOTs and agencies

See alerts from neighboring states and provinces in the same format as your own.

Freight, insurers and claims teams

Use the archive to see when we saw closure and crash reports on a route or near a place, and how long they stayed on the feed.

Media, cities and researchers

Use the archive to count drawbridge lifts and road alerts by date. In the 30 days to Oct 15, 2026, Seattle's Ballard Bridge lifted 259 times. The median lift was about 4 minutes.

Questions buyers ask

Do I need the API or a data license?

Take the API if your software needs live alerts or one mile marker at a time. Take a data license if you want the whole mile marker file or past alerts inside your own systems. You can buy both.

How are API calls counted?

Only requests that reach our server count toward your daily limit.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. The Developer plan is $0 for 1,000 calls a day. The API page has a live test of the mile marker lookup. For a data license, ask for a sample file.

How do I get an API key?

Email sales@milecheckapp.com with what you are building. We send a key. The API page shows how to send it with each request.

Can I resell the data?

No. The dataset license lets you show the data in your product. It does not cover resale.

What if a state's feed has no crash data?

Ten states' live feeds do not carry crashes. The API says so for those states. It does not return a zero that looks like a quiet road.

Do you cover Canada?

Live alerts cover British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba. The Milepost dataset also has kilometre markers for ten Canadian provinces and territories.

Where does the data come from?

Mile marker positions come from state DOT reference-marker datasets. Road alerts come from each state and provincial DOT feed. The data sources page lists each one.

The partners page covers the fleet add-in, the white-label SDK and sponsorships.
