Municipal511
Publicly available mapping system to centralize planning and communication of traffic disruptions
Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use road information management service. An intuitive dashboard and map view, communicating closures and distributing data that is faster and easier than sending emails.
“The two-way integration with Waze, and other data feeds into Municipal 511, provides the county a true picture of what is happening in our communities every day.”
This is especially critical during emergencies like snowstorms, ice storms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Leveraging the Municipal 511 platform is a great opportunity for the municipalities of Oxford County to work together to improve efficiency, provide better service to our communities and harness technology in a very cost-effective fashion.

“Seconds can be critical for emergency responders.”
Prior to the implementation of Municipal 511 for road closures and construction, slower manual processes meant emergency crews could be unaware of construction or closures on their route. Now using Municipal 511, county closures will go directly into computers in each paramedic vehicle.

Chief of Paramedic Services at Oxford County
“The thing that makes this program so nice is its integration with the routing apps that people are using already.”
Providing wider access to the information through the online system could reduce the amount of traffic ending up in county detours if drivers are alerted in time to take alternative routes, which would be safer for our workers and would help traffic congestion.

“The use of technology to help your residents live better and safer lives.”
The project could help Sarnia-Lambton’s bid to reach the top of the list with the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF). This is one of the types of projects that are strongly encouraged and looked on favourably by the ICF – the use of technology to help your residents live better and safer lives.
