FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Filkorn (802) 498-5988 Vermont to Retire 511 Telephone Service MONTPELIER, Vt.—May 27, 2016—On June 1, The Vermont Agency of transportation (VTrans) will join Maine and New Hampshire in retiring their 511 phone system as part of the deployment of the New England Compass traveler information system. Call volume has been declining steadily as traveler information has become more readily available through a variety of other sources including 511vt.com. The call center services for the system have been provided in recent years via a contract with RDI Corporation. Vermont was the first of the three states to migrate to New England Compass at the beginning of May. Maine and New Hampshire are still in a testing phase but anticipate being fully operational by July. The new system will provide a single source for road conditions throughout the region and offers more comprehensive information and services than any one state’s existing 511 service. VTrans will continue to offer traveler information through 511vt.com and users can sign up for email and text alerts using the “My Trips” feature on the new system. VTrans will continue to provide updates via Twitter @511vt and Facebook (VTransontheroad). Traveler information can also be heard on the following radio stations: WMOO 92.1FM WIXM Mix 102.3FM WCVR 1320AM WFFY 100.9FM WCFR 1480AM 106.5FM WCVT 101.7 WKXH Magic 97.7FM WTSA 96.7 FM 1450 AM WLVB 93.9FM WGMT Kix 105.5FM WSYB 1380AM WEXP 101.5 WVNR 1340AM WDEV 550AM, 96.1FM WVMT 660AM WNYV 94.1FM WGMT 97.7FM The weekly On the Road Column provides updates on construction activities in The Burlington Free Press, Times Argus, Rutland Herald, Bennington Banner, Brattleboro Reformer, Newport Daily Express or can be found at vtrans.vermont.gov For more information on how to sign up for My Trips, please visit http://maine.gov/mdot/newengland511/ Travelers can now report non-emergency issues like potholes via our new social app at: http://vtrans.vermont.gov/click2fix -30- .

Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
