FL511 Enhancements

Project Description: FL511 is a traveler information system that delivers accurate and reliable traveler information seamlessly to the public through a 511 IVR telephone service, a 511 web site (www.fl511.com), a third–party data feed, personalized services, and Smartphone applications as well as any other dissemination components that may be presented. These components will be considered the core functions of the FL511 system to deliver travel information to the traveling public on Florida's transportation systems. FL511 enhancements are ongoing at it is evolved to meet Florida's traveler information needs.
