Toronto Traffic Phone

What is TripInfo?
TripInfo (416-599-9090) is Toronto’s new traveller information phone line providing live traffic information for major Expressways including the Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway. The system also provides scheduled road closure information for Ontario Ministry of Transportation highways and other streets within the City of Toronto.

TripInfo makes it easy to access the information you need! You can simply say the road name or number that you are interested in.

How do I use TripInfo?
TripInfo is controlled by your voice or by using the touchtone keypad of your telephone. TripInfo will prompt you to make decisions concerning the information you want, and you can just say (speak) the choice you are interested in hearing.

If you want to use your telephone keypad, or if the system is having difficulty understanding your selections, it is possible to switch from ‘voice instructions’ to ‘keypad instructions’. Just press 9 on your keypad at any time, and the voice command feature will be turned-off. By pressing 9 again, the voice command feature will resume.
