PennDOT encourages drivers to use 511PA to plan around Little League traffic

South Williamsport, Pa. — The Little League Baseball World Series is here again, and traffic is about to get messy.

To help motorists get to their destinations in a safe, timely manner, PennDOT is advising drivers to plan their trips using the 511PA website or app.

Short-term visitors will likely prefer the website, 511PA.com/map/page/LLWS . Both the website and app provide the same real-time travel and alternate-route information. The Little League-specific webpage is dedicated to monitoring traffic conditions on the primary travel routes to the World Series.

Travel times and alerts are provided for: Route 15 south to Route 220 to Market Street (from north); Route 15 north (from south); Interstate 80 east to Route 220 north to Market Street (from west); and I-80 west to Route 15 north (from east).

The page also includes the average travel time for the primary route as well as one or two alternate routes. Users can see incidents, construction, traffic cameras, and traffic speeds on the map.

“511PA is a valuable tool to empower the public and minimize congestion,” commented PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “By providing this real-time information, motorists can more easily plan the route that works best for them as they travel to this exciting event.”

PennDOT's Central Region Traffic Management Center is also supporting the Little League World Series by posting real-time travel information on dynamic message signs and transmitting audio messages on highway advisory radio systems to assist travelers.

511PA information is also available through calling 5-1-1 or by following regional X alerts by selecting a region on the 511 X/Twitter map .
