McLean, Dewitt and Livingston counties have been approved for a 211 pilot program. PATH Executive Director Karen Zangerle says the service will help get rid of some calls to 911.

Zangerle says the number goes straight to PATH, a local social service agency. To be chosen as a pilot location, PATH had to prove it could handle the financial responsibility because the government doesn't provide money to start up the service. The 211 pilot program runs for one year. Residents in the areas participating can start calling the number July 1.
