State transportation officials are encouraging people to plan ahead if they’re traveling this holiday season by checking for real-time traffic information, the latest MBTA schedules, and the weather forecast.
On Tuesday, officials suggested that people follow @MassDOT on X and using the Mass511 mobile app or visiting mass511.com to see the latest travel times and traffic conditions before hitting the road. People can also dial 511 and select a route for the latest conditions, officials said.
“MassDOT encourages the public to use our real-time traffic tools before heading to their holiday destinations,” the state’s highway administrator, Jonathan Gulliver, said in a statement. “MassDOT also wants to remind roadway users to be safe, courteous, and to adhere to traffic laws and regulations.”
