PennDOT wants your opinion on how it did last winter

The state Department of Transportation is seeking feedback on its winter services with an online petition. Here's how you can share your evaluation.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Note: The video is from February 14.

What do you think of how the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation handled the roads last winter?

The department is looking for your opinion.

PennDOT said this week it is seeking public feedback on its winter services in an online survey.

"The PennDOT team works diligently to keep roadways safe and passable in winter months, often in challenging conditions," PennDOT secretary Mike Carroll said in a press release. "The public's feedback helps us review operations and also identify ways we can enhance public information."

The survey is available through April 17 and should take responders about five minutes to complete.

All of those who fill out the survey remain anonymous, PennDOT said.

The 16-question survey asks responders about their timeline expectations for safe and passable roadways, how they rank snow-removal priorities, and how they rate PennDOT's winter services.

The survey also asks how responders receive PennDOT roadway information, and whether or how they use the state's 511PA traveler information services. 

During the winter, 511PA.com offers standard traffic and incident information while adding PennDOT plow-truck locations, winter road conditions, and other services.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting 511PA.com, which is free and available 24 hours a day. 

511PA is also available as a phone app, or by calling 5-1-1, PennDOT said.
