With the customizable routes feature, drivers can customize primary and back-up travel routes to numerous locations throughout the state. Drivers can create custom names, such as “Work” and “Back Up Work.” The 511 system uses simple Caller ID technology to recognize the caller and provides the option to hear traffic details for the programmed trips first. If there is an incident on one road, drivers can change routes before getting caught in congestion.
