Alberta Transportation blown away by public response to 511 service

A new provincial road information website is a big hit with the travelling public.

Nancy Beasley Hosker with Alberta Transportation tells 660News since the launch of 511 Alberta back on February 4th, the website has registered 33-million hits; 250,000 others have accessed the information via phone and another 10,000 are following along via Twitter.

Beasley Hosker expects traffic on the website will continue to pick up in the coming months, with people looking for updates on the various road construction projects before hitting the highway for spring and summer road trips.

She also says because of public demand they are now exploring the possibility of rolling out a 511 app, but she can’t say when that might happen.
