Potholes are a persistent problem on U.S. roads, causing billions in damages and posing serious safety risks. At Pothol, we’re building an app to help cities fix potholes faster while empowering drivers and cyclists to play a key role in improving road safety. Here’s what we’re trying to accomplish, why you should download Pothol, and the difference your reports can make.
Our Mission: Helping Cities Fix Potholes Faster
Pothol is designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges cities face: efficiently repairing potholes. By crowdsourcing real-time data from users, we provide local authorities with precise pothole locations, severity levels, and frequency of reports. This data helps cities prioritize repairs, allocate resources smarter, and fix potholes faster—reducing risks and improving road conditions for everyone. For example, our app can highlight a high-severity pothole reported multiple times on a busy road, ensuring it’s addressed before it causes an accident.
Why Cities Need Better Data to Fix Roads
Many U.S. cities struggle with pothole repairs due to limited budgets and outdated reporting systems. Without accurate, real-time data, repairs are often delayed, leaving dangerous potholes on the road longer than necessary. Pothol bridges this gap by delivering actionable insights directly to city officials. With our City Dashboard, municipalities can see exactly where potholes are, how severe they are, and how many users are affected—enabling them to fix roads faster and more efficiently than ever before.
