The Georgia Department of Transportation's Georgia 511 Travel Info system celebrates 11 years of service to Georgia travelers this year. The 511 telephone service officially launched in 2007 as Georgia’s traveler information phone number, replacing *DOT. The free service provides real-time travel information 24/7, as well as access to live operators to report incidents or request motorist assistance. There is also a website, 511GA.org, and mobile app, 511 Georgia & Atlanta Traffic, which is available for Android and iOS.

Georgia 511 by the numbers (to date):

• 13 million calls

• 11.8 million website sessions (511GA.org)

• 5.6 million mobile app sessions and 300,000 downloads (Android and iOS combined)

• 50 million email and text alerts to MyGA511 subscribers. Register at 511GA.org.

As the Georgia Department of Transportation gears up for a busy summer construction schedule and the start of hurricane season (June-November), Georgians can continue to turn to 511 for all their traveler information needs.
