PENNSYLVANIA, USA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has enhanced the 511PA site and mobile app in prep for Penn State football fans attending home games this season.

Starting on Saturday, Sept. 7, the Penn State football page on the 511PA website will provide several tools like the average travel time on primary routes and one or two alternate routes, incidents, construction, weather forecasts and alerts, traffic cameras, traffic speeds and the 2024 Beaver Stadium Parking Map. In addition, travel times and alerts are provided for each parking zone. 

"Our goal is to help motorists plan ahead by providing them with as much information as possible," said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll in a press release. "By providing this real-time information, motorists can more easily plan the route that works best for them."

PennDOT's Central Region Traffic Management Center will also be posting real-time travel information on message signs and transmitting audio messages on highway advisory radio systems to help travelers.

The page was created to emphasize Governor Shapro's commitment to providing responsive, user-friendly and accessible digital services to all Pennsylvanians.
