***29 Telephone Services for Travelers***

*FOREWORD*

*Profiles of 511 Traveler Information Services* was prepared by the
Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Office of Research, Demonstration
and Innovation to increase public awareness, access, and knowledge of
the transit content within existing 511 traveler information services.
The report provides descriptive profiles of each of the twenty-nine 511
traveler information services in operation in the United States, as of
April 1, 2006. It also includes a listing of the *Twenty-nine 511
Systems: Areas of Commonality and Uniqueness---*highlighting areas of
information these systems share and identifying those pieces of traveler
information unique to specific systems. This information was obtained
directly from each 511 call-in telephone number, which can be accessed
by any traveler. The 511 system provides an easy way to obtain travel
information anywhere in the country, and helps travelers make better
decisions on travel routes and modes. This information is available
Online at \[[http://www.fta.dot.gov](http://www.fta.dot.gov/)\]

*Highlights -* Of the 29 systems profiled in this report, *26 systems*
have co-branded websites. *Sixteen (16) systems* provide public transit
information \[Arizona, Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Orlando/Central Florida, Rhode Island,
Sacramento/Northern California, San Francisco Bay Area, Southeast
Florida, Tampa Bay, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington State\]. *Nine
systems* automatically transfer a caller, if requested, to a transit
provider \[Arizona, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota,
North Carolina, Orlando/Central Florida, Sacramento/Northern California,
Southeast Florida, Virginia\].

*The 511 National Vision -- 511 will be a customer driven multi-modal
traveler information service, available across the United States,
accessed via telephones and other personal communications devices,
realized through local deployed interoperable systems, enabling a safer,
more reliable and efficient transportation system.*

The National 511 Traveler Information Service is under the guidance of
the National 511 Deployment Coalition. The Coalition is comprised of the
following major transportation organizations---American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Public
Transportation Association, ITS America, and U.S. Department of
Transportation.

*FRONT COVER MAP*

The solid green areas on the front cover map depict states and regions
with active 511 services. The states in yellow had applied to the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for [511 planning assistance
grants](http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/Travel/511supp.htm). The most recent
launch was the Rhode Island statewide system.

More information about launches that have already taken place or are
planned is provided in the [Timeline of 511 Services In
Operation](http://www.deploy511.org/docs/511 Launches (as of Jan 18 2006).doc).
The timeline also includes contact information for the public
information officers and technical project managers for each deployment.

Decision makers and planners need to know why deploying 511 is the right
choice to make. The new 511 Deployment Coalition brochure, [The Value of
Deploying 511](http://www.deploy511.org/docs/511_Value.pdf), makes a
strong case for deploying 511 travel information services.
