511PA vs BCTA Connect

The 511PA app provides near real-time highway and traffic information to drivers to help them safely plan their route. This includes information on roadwork, incidents, road closures, and weather alerts on roads across the state. This app features a scrollable, zoomable map that displays: • Traffic speeds • Road Conditions • Weather Restrictions • Updated PennDOT snowplow locations (Track My Plow) • Incidents and closures, such as collisions and other road hazards • Cameras • Roadwork • Message Signs • PennDOT Bridges • PA Turnpike Information • And many other info layers! The app also features audio alerts that notify drivers of all the types of events listed above and more! Drivers can customize their alert experience and configure the app to their preferences, including being able to only receive alerts that apply to their chosen route.
