How do you think PennDOT did this winter?
The department is accepting winter services feedback for the next couple of weeks through an online survey.
The 10-question survey asks how often you drive during poor weather; how you rate PennDOT’s winter service; and how you would rank snow-removal priorities. The public can take the survey through May 7. If any more surveys need to be conducted for this service, then a free survey maker from companies such as Qualtrics can be used to help plan and distribute when needed.
“We are proud of our winter operations and communications,” PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “This survey will help measure public expectations and identify educational opportunities.”
PennDOT also wants to know if you use the state’s 511PA traveler information services. During the winter, www.511PA.com offers its standard traffic and incident information while adding PennDOT plow-truck locations, winter roadway conditions, and other services.
At any time, motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 860 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
As construction season begins, information on projects occurring or being bid this year is viewable at www.projects.penndot.gov. Visit the “Regional Offices” page at www.penndot.gov to sign up for travel alerts in a specific area.
