511 Real-time Traveler Information
Real-time traveler information enables the traveling public to make informed transportation choices. 511 is a three-digit dialing code designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2000, making it easy for users to access traveler information services. The current 511 three-digit number routes the call to the region the traveler is calling from for region-specific information. The 511 Deployment Coalition is looking to establish a national 511 traveler information service. With advancements in technology, many 511 systems also offer web-based travel information, multimodal planning, trip planning, ridesharing, and mobile applications for Android and Apple users.
