NYDOT has partnered with Waze through their Waze for Cities program to publish Waze reported information on the 511NY website. This program is a free data exchange between Waze and government entities and private road owners and operators. Waze is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app. Waze gathers crowdsourced real-time traffic data and road information from its users. Waze incidents and closures data identified by the Waze app are now available to view on 511NY. This information is provided in addition to official information reported by NYDOT to better help people plan their travel in New York.
