Beginning on Saturday before the Nittany Lions take on Bowling Green, 511PA will offer travel information for every home game and that will begin on Thursdays prior to the game and lasts through the Monday following the game. 

It will monitor traffic conditions on the primary routes along with travel times and alerts for each parking zone. 

The app and website will show the average travel time for each route along with incidents, construction updates, weather forecasts, and traffic cameras.
