Travel Information System Launches

SANBAG and the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) announced the formal launch of the Inland Empire 511 (IE511) system, travel and commuter information for all of Southern California. IE511 provides robust, up to the minute, traffic and mobility options to motorists via the phone or www.IE511.org website. While in San Bernardino or Riverside Counties, dial 511 from a land line or cell phone to be connected. Callers outside of the Inland Empire can call: 877-MY-IE511 (877-694-3511).

Both the website and phone system offer real-time traffic information, including travel times and incident information. The website also offers a glimpse of traffic flow through Caltrans freeway cameras. Bus, Metrolink and rideshare information, such as carpool lane maps, Park and Ride lots and employer incentives also are available through this system. Know before you go, and call 511 or visit www.IE511.org
