Get real-time traffic updatesNow your phone can help you steer clear of traffic! Simply dial 5-1-1 and you'll be connected to the SmarTraveler Information Service, providing up-to-the-minute traffic condition reports for roads in the Orlando area and South Florida.
News you can use in Orlando
and South Florida
The SmarTraveler Information Service is updated as necessary throughout the day. When there is an accident or an important traffic condition to report, the information is reported in real time. Although this service has only been around for a year, call volumes have grown to more than 90,000 each month! Currently, 5-1-1 with voice activation is available for traffic updates along the Interstate 4 corridor from Volusia County to the attractions area west of Orlando. Callers can get information by saying aloud the area about which they are seeking information (i.e., Volusia County, downtown Orlando, etc.) rather than making their selection by dialing codes. The voiceactivated system allows you to keep your hands on the wheel when calling from your car. The service hopes to add voice activation to its capabilities in South Florida in the near future. Currently in South Florida, you need to dial codes for specific road conditions. See the shortcut chart for more details.
Online updates, too
When you're online, you can check traffic conditions all across Orlando and South Florida on the SmarTraveler Web site at www.smartraveler.com.
