Want PennDOT News? Check Facebook!

Let's face it—whether you're taking Banksville Road, West Liberty Avenue, or trying to get to the Parkway, traveling around and Brookline isn't always easy.

But PennDOT’s newly launched Facebook page gives Pennsylvanians more ways to interact with the agency, and find valuable transportation news and tips that could ease a potentially frustrating commute.

The new PennDOT Facebook page features:

• Available resources for travel and construction information.
• Information on highway safety including free resources, enforcement and traffic safety laws.
• Information on driver’s license and motor vehicle operations, including convenient online services.
• Descriptions of PennDOT’s many services available to the public; and
• Featured PennDOT job opportunities.

In addition to the main PennDOTNews Twitter feed, the department also maintains eight regional Twitter accounts allowing followers to get updated traffic alerts and local PennDOT news.

PennDOT will not report traffic or road conditions on its Facebook page. Travelers should visit www.511PA.com or call 5-1-1 for current traffic conditions. The regional travel information accounts are accessible by clicking “Follow us on Twitter” on the 511 website.
