Groups Band Together To Bring Traffic Updates
PALM DESERT – “Inland Empire 511” is now live on your phone and on the internet to help you plan your trips.
The new service was launched by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the San Bernardino Associated Governments. It prides itself on providing commuters with “vital” up-to-date information on the roadways.
Commuters can call 511 from any phone in Riverside or San Bernardino County, or by logging onto their website and get all of the information they need to avoid congestion.
Callers using Verizon land and cellular phones; Sprint, T-mobile and AT&T cell phones; and Time Warner and Charter cable telephone service simply need to dial 511 to access the interactive voice recognition system for this free informational service. Callers using AT&T land lines will have to use the longer 1-877-MYIE511number until April 2010 while AT&T completes its conversion activities to make the shortcut available.
