ORBIT Alerts

ORBIT Alerts is a construction and road-closure alert system. It sends notifications to subscribers by email and SMS. Global-5 builds and operates it for transportation agencies.

Targeted Subscriptions

Subscribers choose the areas, roadways, road segments, exits, or map locations they care about. Alerts are filtered by closure category.

Email & SMS Notifications

Subscribers confirm their email with double opt-in and pick hour-before, daily digest, or weekly digest delivery. Every email tracks opens, clicks, and bounces.

Security & Privacy

Staff sign in through WorkOS. Phone numbers are encrypted at rest, and sign-up forms embed only on approved agency domains.

Built for Transportation Agencies
