A traveler information dissemination system, comprising:

• a traveler information selection utility for storing user criteria organized by location codes;
• at least one data source for providing current data relating to traveling conditions;
• memory storing computer readable instructions that are executable by a processor to generate a route creation interface on a display device, the route creation interface:
• presenting a route creation interface to a user, the route creation interface generated by a publishing system;
• displaying a map populated with points for selection by the user;
• receiving a user selection of at least two points from the map, wherein a first point is a start point and a second point is an endpoint;
• and
• a routing engine stored in memory and executable by a processor to:
• compute a route from the first point to the second point;
• determine a travel time for the route, wherein the determination includes compounding weights of segments composing the route, the weights derived from one or more data sources, and
• display the route on the map.
