service alerts

System status updates

Service alerts are notifications about disruptions, delays, or changes affecting transportation, utilities, or other public services.

Transit systems issue service alerts when trains run late or routes change; utility companies send them during outages: Check service alerts before your commute.

The term implies time-sensitive, practical information that affects planning.
