PennDOT Now Includes Streaming Video To More Than 700 Traffic Cameras On 511PA
TMA Bucks (Transportation Management Association) recently announced that PennDOT has upgraded its 511PA website (www.511PA.com) and mobile application to allow for continuously streaming footage. Previously, the site and mobile application were limited to providing real-time conditions using still images that were refreshed every five seconds.
“Our 511 system puts travel information at drivers’ fingertips and helps them make travel decisions before and during their trip,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said in making the announcement in September. “The new streaming video shows real-time traffic flow to help give motorists an even better idea of what to expect on our roadways.”
The streaming video is the latest improvement to the 511PA service. This past May, PennDOT announced a 511PA smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices that provides hands-free and eyes-free travel alerts for the nearly 40,000 miles of road that PennDOT maintains as well as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and select New Jersey and West Virginia roadways. App users can also view the streaming video, travel alerts and more before they travel.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts and traffic speed information. 511PA is also available by calling 5-1-1,
and by signing up for personal alerts or following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.
Bucks County roadwork alerts and traffic restrictions are also available by following @tmabucks on Twitter or at www.twitter.com/tmabucks. TMA Bucks and other organizations also use the hashtag #BucksRoadAlert on Twitter to easily compile in one place important traffic & road updates in Bucks County.

As One Era Ends Another Begins
It is a bittersweet time here at PPL and an end of an era. After 19 years of service, Don Bernhard will be retiring from PPL and will soon take the helm at the Downtown Allentown Community Development Initiative. I am pleased that we will continue to work with Don to make Allentown stronger and healthier.
Please be assured that I will work hard to ensure that the transition will be as smooth as possible as I take on his responsibilities. In addition to that role I will also serve as the main point of contact for Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks, Montgomery, Schuylkill, and parts of Luzerne counties. I will keep you up to date on important PPL information that affects your business, your municipalities, your constituents, and in the case of the media, your readers and viewers.
I have enjoyed getting to know many of you over the last few years—and look forward to meeting those of you that I have not had a chance to meet yet. While many changes are happening at PPL, I want to assure you that we remain committed to the communities we serve.
As always, if you need assistance from PPL, just email or call and I will try to assist you any way I can.
