What is 511?
Kentucky’s 511 program
is a tourism, traffic, travel and 
weather information service.
Callers may dial 5-1-1 from any phone to receive statewide
automated traffic and weather, or live regional travel and
tourism related information from the 511 Tourism Information
Call Center 6 AM to 12 AM eastern time daily. Individuals
calling from out of state may call 1-877-TOUR-SEKY. The 511
Tourism Information Call Center is a service of the Southern and
Eastern Kentucky Tourism Development Association. This project
is made possible through funding obtained by Congressman Hal
Rogers and through a partnership with the Kentucky Department of
Transportation. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
designated 511 as the national traveler information phone number
in July 2000.
