The development of Digitraffic started in 2002 as a joint project between VTT Technical Research Center of Finland and Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University), with a goal to produce improved services for traffic telematics. After the research phase Digitraffic was transferred to the Finnish road aministration and later on, to the Center for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of Southeast Finland. The Finnish transport Agency managed Digitraffic from 2014 to 2018, making Digitraffic fully open data, deploying it in a cloud service and expanding it to cover information from rail and marine traffic.

The information distributed through Digitraffic is based on data collected by the Fintraffic, the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom. The data is collected for operative purposes and shares the data according to open data principles. Using the data is free and does not require a contract with the Fintraffic. However, the licensing terms must be followed.
