The Metropolitan Planning Council is seeking a consultant to design and implement a regional traveler information kiosk demonstration project.
The Metropolitan Planning Council released a request for proposals Monday
seeking a consultant to design and implement a transit kiosk demonstration
project.
The Regional Traveler Information Kiosk project will create a data source
that ties together information on entertainment and cultural activities in the
downtown area with real-time transit information. Ultimately, this data
will be available to the public through the placement of Web-enabled kiosks in
the downtown area. Organizers hope the new kiosks will both be an asset for
Chicago-area residents and make the city's transit and cultural activities more
accessible to visitors.
Proposals are due Nov. 4, 2002. A contract will be
awarded for the project later that month. The kiosks are currently
projected to be placed at five pilot sites by spring 2003. Click
