To help motorists and other travelers navigate a series of major events occurring in and around Philadelphia this summer, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is making enhanced real-time travel information available via a specialized web page at www.511PA.com/PhillyEvents.

Hosted through the department’s www.511PA.com traveler information website, the special web page is dedicated to monitoring traffic conditions on primary travel routes to several major events this summer – including FIFA World Cup 2026 soccer matches, the FIFA Fan Festival, Major League Baseball All Star Week, and America250PA events.
“Hosting these major events in Philadelphia is very exciting, and the department is using every tool possible to minimize roadway congestion and focus on safe travel by providing drivers with as much information as possible,” said Mike Carroll, PennDOT secretary, in a statement.
“We encourage the public to use 511PA to plan the route that works best for them – whether they’re traveling to the events or just traveling through the area,” he added.
[Editor’s note: Carroll also participated in a knowledge session at the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 2026 Spring Meeting in Savannah, GA, in April that discussed the multimodal strategies states are deploying to help move an influx of visitors to the U.S. for the FIFA 2026 World Cup soccer matches this summer.]
PennDOT said its specialized 511 web page includes links to traffic maps, along with other helpful links, and travel tips for getting to each event. Traffic maps include the average travel time for primary routes to each event and system users can see real-time incidents, construction, traffic cameras, traffic speeds, and message board displays on the maps.
Travelers using the “My Routes” option will also have access to a list of special points of interest when choosing their starting point or destination, making it easier than ever to find the best route to or from the events.
PennDOT’s Southeast Regional Traffic Management Center is also supporting the events by posting real-time travel information on changeable message signs, with the agency activating 40 additional cameras in the area and throughout the summer events to enhance monitoring of current traffic conditions, as well as 32 additional message boards to help direct travelers.
PennDOT added that it is coordinating with Delaware and New Jersey, along with the City of Philadelphia, the Sports Complex, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority or SEPTA transit network, and other regional transportation agencies to manage and monitor traffic conditions during this summer’s events.
