511

511 is America's Traveler Information Number. This is a free number that is being utilized throughout the U.S. but has yet to take off in PA. 511 is also utilized in many different ways. In some regions it just provides congestion information and in others it provides information on transit, carpooling, vanpooling and other alternatives.

For detailed information on 511 you can log onto these four sites:
The FHWA Office of Operations 511 Travel Information: www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/511/index.htm
