    Top What Does 511 Do?

    511, by phone or the Internet, provides up-to-the-minute travel information. Expect to find the latest weather, highway travel conditions (accidents, construction, detours), and public transportation by using 511. Some areas also offer ride-sharing information and other regional details; for example, San Diego's 511 tells you how long the wait at the Mexican border is.

    Top Accessing 511 By Phone

    Already on the road? Simply dial 511 for information over the phone. It's the price of a local call―use either a cell phone or a landline. After you dial, you'll hear a menu that may be voice-activated, and a list of choices.

    Top 511 on the Web

    The state is divided into nine sections on the The CalTrans California Smart Traveler Web site:

    • Southern California
    • Ventura
    • North Coast
    • Northern California

    Travelers in the Sacramento region may visit www.sacregion511.org.

    At this time, the Central Coast and Central California regions are still unavailable.

    Top 511 in Other States

    When traveling in the U.S., check to see if 511 is deployed in the state you're in yet. Although the plan was to have a national 511 program, it's been slow to get underway.
