New York State Announces New Service to Keep Travelers Informed...TransAlert System Notifies Subscribers of Significant Transportation Events. New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Astrid C. Glynn announces an innovative service that provides travelers across the state with up-to-the-minute transportation information through short, electronic messages regarding significant travel disruptions, such as highway accidents or lane closures. The service, called TransAlert, is distributed through the State Emergency Management Office’s (SEMO) NY-Alert system and is available through free subscriptions. Per Commissioner Glynn, the TransAlert system disseminates real-time transportation information that will help reduce congestion and delays by keeping travelers informed and encouraging them to avoid disruptions by using alternative routes or transportation modes.
