The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is offering additional information through the 511PA traveler information service.
In addition to color-coded winter conditions and plow truck locations, PennDOT has upgraded the service to provide new alert customization for passenger or commercial vehicle drivers.
511PA will now provide personalized travel alerts for specific roadways, days of the week, and times of day in different categories such as “incidents”, “road work”, “travel restrictions”, and “weather alerts”. Electric vehicle users can locate charging stations while commercial vehicle drivers can view bridge height data and other vehicle restrictions.
Motorists can engage this free service through the 511PA website or mobile app.
