I just turned on WVIT &#8211; the local NBC affiliate &#8211; and they reported Connecticut was planning to introduce the state-wide 511 system that I mentioned back in February. It appears that the state government &#8211; at a cost of $3 million &#8211; thinks that they can provide better traffic information [...]]]></description>
