Harrisburg, PA – Safe travel on Pennsylvania roadways is a top priority for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), no matter the season. With spring beginning, PennDOT is seeking the public’s feedback on its services this winter through an online survey.
“Pennsylvania is finishing a very active winter-weather season and I’m proud of how the PennDOT team worked – often around the clock – to keep roads safe and passable,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Public feedback through this survey helps us enhance public information as well as review perceptions and knowledge of our operations.”
The survey is available through April 28 and should take about five minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous.
The 16-question survey asks respondents about their timeline expectations for safe and passable roadways, how they rank snow-removal priorities, and how they rate PennDOT’s winter services.
Respondents are also asked how they receive PennDOT roadway information, and whether or how they use the state’s 511PA traveler information services. During the winter, www.511PA.com offers its standard traffic and incident information while adding PennDOT plow-truck locations, winter roadway conditions, and other services.
At any time, motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
