The 511PA telephone system has received more than 1 million calls and more
than 15,000 people have signed up for personalized text or email alerts.

Launched in 2009, the 511PA service provides travel information such as
active and planned construction, incident alerts and weather alerts for more than 2,900 miles of Pennsylvania highways. Average traffic speeds are also
available for several interstates and other major roadways in urban areas.

The 511PA system is accessible 24-hours-per-day, seven days a week at
