Introducing the 511 NY Developer Resource Area
Welcome to the 511NY Developer Resource Area. This is a free service that allows various user groups (i.e. the general public, commercial vendors, transportation agencies, researchers, media and others) to access 511NY real-time and static transportation data for use in their applications and research efforts.
The collaborative highway data feed contains 'real-time' event information provided by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the New York City Department of Transportation, the New York State Thruway Authority and the Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition (Buffalo-Niagara Region). The area also includes files from NYSDOT detailing bridge and highway restriction data as well as transit schedule data files provided by partner public transportation operators throughout New York State.

Types of Highway Data (511 NY Information)
Format and Update Frequency of the 511 NY Highway Data Feed
The data feed is accessed through a web connection and is available in XML format. The feed is updated as individual events become active, are updated, or expire and are removed from the feed. The feed may also change daily as new information becomes available with respect to restricted access facilities.
Commercial Vehicle Restriction file
The CV Restriction GIS file contains clearance and posting information. This is an effort by NYSDOT to reduce the rate of bridge hits by vehicle operators that is a frequent occurrence in New York. The NYS Bridge Hit Task Force looks forward to continuing this partnership and encourages feedback on the information contained in the file as well as use of the data in applications. Contact Information for Questions or to Request Access to the Data Feed
