PSC Grants Petition to WV Division of Highways to Implement 511 Dialing Code The Public Service Commission of West Virginia recently issued an Order granting a petition by the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways (WVDOH) to implement the 511 dialing code for the purpose of improving communication re-
lating to traffic and transportation conditions. The 511 system is intended to assist motorists in West Virginia and enhance public safety by providing information about accidents or adverse travel conditions. The Commission formed a
Task Force to investigate the proposal from WV-DOH. After a series of meetings, the Task Force recommended the Commission approve the assignment of the 511 dialing code to WV-DOH. In today’s Order, the Commission accepted the recommendation from the Task
Force and noted that all wireline carriers currently providing retail telecommunications services in West Virginia would need to program their switching equipment to properly route 511 calls. Additionally, the Commission ordered that because WV-DOH
would bear all the costs of establishing the 511 program, no additional costs were passed on to the ratepayers. More information can be found on the Commission’s website at www.psc.state.wv.us and referencing Case No. 120826-T-P.
