Summary
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) are seeking applications from public agencies that are currently deploying, or operating, a telephone system that delivers traveler information services so that those agencies may enhance their system to provide a high quality 511 service. This effort will provide for the enhancements to an existing telephone traveler information service, which has converted to the nationally available three-digit telephone number, 511, or will soon convert to 511. The purpose of this model deployment is to establish and document an innovative example of a 511 system that advances content quality and user interfaces. Applicants in response to this notice are encouraged to demonstrate their readiness to develop and implement a state-of-the- art 511 traveler information service and to articulate the adequacy of their proposed approach related to geographic areas, institutional coordination, and information to be provided.
