Here's the landing page for the PennDot data feeds. Looks like the data is in the PennDOT Road Condition Reporting System.

Vendors must request an account, obtain a secure key, username and password, and have software capable of initiating an Internet web service request in order to access the RCRSDataService. Requests with invalid account identification information are rejected by the service. Each request to the service is logged to the Vendor's account.

With some limitations.

I went ahead and generated a simple empty JSON file for now, see dot-feed.json

Not sure if this is the best way to do it but it would be easy to mogrify into whatever we want.

There are also route-specific Twitter feeds listed at http://wbhfradio.org/gdot-announces-the-creation-of-16-new-twitter-feeds-for-traffic-alerts/

Baltimore County, Maryland has a web map and a list of closures.

• Regular website
• REST API for closed roads

Not sure if unstructured feeds are within scope for this project, but the Ohio Department of Transportation’s 12 districts each published an RSS feed of announcements that often pertain to road closures and construction:

• District 1
• District 2
• District 3
• District 4
• District 5 (no feed, just HTML)
• District 6
• District 7
• District 8
• District 9
• District 10
• District 11
• District 12

Additionally, many cities and transportation improvement districts across the state maintain road construction/closure announcement pages, some of which are less structured:

• Butler County
• Cincinnati
• Columbus / Mid-Ohio RPC (e-mail)
• Cuyahoga County
• Summit County

Many of ODOT’s programmatic feeds have been subsumed by the TIMS portal, but I don’t know what the terms are on that data, which comes with geometries.

The City of Chicago has a street closures feed. Michael Hassin made a scraper that converts it to a geocoded JSON feed.

Hello!
I saw you post this on Twitter and thought I could be of assistance. I work for the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). We have an Esri Open Data Portal which might be helpful for this project.

VTrans ODP

The Projects data might be of most use.

If there is specific data that you would like to see from us, please let me know and I'll try to get in touch with the people in charge of that info.
