511NY Logo

511 Logo

The 511NY logo is a variation of the national 511 logo, a federally registered trademark owned by the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO.) It symbolizes the quality and consistency of the nation's 511 travel information technology, services and products. Use of the logo is mandatory in conjunction with 511NY and is encouraged by a national 511 Marketing and Outreach Committee. By using the logo, you enable travelers to quickly identify the commonalities associated with the 511 services across different agencies throughout the nation.

Embed Map

Embedding the 511NY Map Tool

Embedding the 511NY map allows developers to link to the specific region of the 511NY Traffic/Transit map that is most relevant to their audience. Developers set the parameters that determine what map layers (e.g. traffic speeds, construction, closures, etc.) will be visible to users.
