Georgia 511’s History:
- In 1992, the Georgia Department of Transportation received federal assistance to create a Transportation Management Center (TMC) in Atlanta. The TMC is the hub for the state’s traveling information needs and houses Georgia’s award-winning Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), NaviGAtor.
- In 2000, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established “511” as America’s travel information phone number, consolidating the 300+ travel information services nationwide into one easy-to-remember number.
- In 2007, the Georgia DOT officially launched GA 511 at the TMC as a free service for real-time traffic and travel information in the state, replacing *DOT, their previous phone-based consumer travel service.
- Today, this one-stop-shop number serves the travelers in Georgia via website, mobile app, social media and travel alerts.
