## What is Mass511?

The Mass511 app is the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's official traffic and traveler information app. The Mass511 app, new and improved in 2022, provides up-to-date traffic information for interstates, U.S. routes and state highways across Massachusetts.

FEATURES:
• Hands-free, eyes-free audio notifications of traffic events while you drive
• A zoom-enabled map with tappable traffic event icons and surrounding camera views
• Near real-time updates on traffic incidents, construction,  weather and road closures
• Manage My Mass511 personalized accounts including saved routes, areas, and camera views and email and text alerts
• View current traffic speeds
• View traffic cameras throughout the state. Sign up for a My Mass511 account to save cameras for easy access.
• Access to additional traveler information resources

NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease device battery life.

The primary responsibility of every driver is the safe operation of their vehicle. While traveling, mobile communication devices should be used only when the motor vehicle is at a complete stop, off the traveled portion of the roadway. Do not text and drive (it's against the law) or use this app while driving.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2026-01-19*

It would help if massdot actually fixed their cameras for once.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry about the frustration with the cameras. If you’re able to share more details about what you’re experiencing, please contact us at feedback@castlerockits.com

### 3/5 — Favorites Not Functioning

*2026-01-14*

I do not see a favorite heart icon on the app or browser interface. I  didn’t see any info explaining how to add a location on the app but it must be an option as there is a tab where they can be added telling me i should add one :-)

**Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. We appreciate the feedback and are continuing to improve the app to make this clearer and easier to use.

Locations can be favorited from the search results screen when you are logged in to your account. Tap the search button at the bottom of the screen and perform a route, place, or roadway search, for example “Boston, MA to Newton, MA.” The screen will update with a map view of your search, and below the “Show Results” arrow you should see a favorite button. Tapping that button will allow you to save the location to your favorites.

If you need any help feel free to contact us at feedback@castlerockits.com

### 4/5 — Edit: a problem solved

*2025-09-16*

I couldn’t see the map, but once I created an account I could.

**Developer response:** Hi, Green Laughter - Thanks for letting us know that you were able to see the map after you created an account. Interestingly, an account is not required to use the Mass511 app, including the map. We're hoping you can provide some additional information in case there's a bug we need to fix. Are you finding that you can only see the map when you're logged in? Any other details you can provide about times you're not able to see the map would be super helpful! If you're willing, please send additional info to pm@castlerockits.com. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Can’t see the map

*2025-09-11*

Just white, though I can see info points on the white background.

**Developer response:** Hi, Green Laughter - Sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the map. If you continue to have troubles loading the map, then please email us at pm@castlerockits.com with additional details to help us investigate. Are you connecting over WiFi or a cellular network? If cellular, which cellular network provider are you using? Thank you!

### 2/5 — Not intuitive

*2024-07-28*

Takes a long time to figure out how to do things in the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments - we will continue work to make the app easier to use. Please reach out to pm@castlerockits.com if you have some specific details you'd like to share with us.

### 1/5 — No notification

*2024-06-25*

Mass Pike eastbound was shut down on 6/25/24 at 1:30am and detoured at the Copley plaza exit. There were no notification of this detour/shut down of the highway.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. We apologize that you didn't find the information you needed in the Mass511 app and will continue to improve the system.

### 2/5 — Baloney site

*2024-06-09*

It would have been 5 if the camera’s worked properly

**Developer response:** Thank you, we appreciate the feedback.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2024-05-24*

Lots of glitches and certainly isn’t in real time Did not show any form of construction and road closures that I encountered
 you can’t remove critical alerts that have nothing to do with where you are

**Developer response:** We’re sorry you had a negative experience. We will continue to make improvements to our system. Thank you for your comments.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2023-12-19*

I needed to travel Rt13 north from Leominster to Townsend. I knew the road in Lunenburg was closed 12/18/23 and needed to return 12/19. 

Google map was ambiguous where 511 showed no issues!! I checked periodically as my time to leave approached. Google maps showed “lane closure” but still 511 showed all ok!

Google was right! Uninstalled 511…..

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. We apologize that you didn't find the information you needed in the Mass511 app and will continue to improve the system.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-09-12*

This is a very intuitive tool.  Nice work Mass DOT
