The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals for the design, construction,
installation, operation, administration, customer support, and maintenance of traveler information
service with display screens, Internet portal, and wireless Internet at selected North Carolina highway

A map of NCDOT rest areas is located at www.ncdot.org/~restarea . A copy of the map is also provided as Section X, Attachment A. The vendor shall provide these services at the rest areas noted below. The numbers displayed in the right hand column are the estimated travelers at each site for calendar year 2006 and are provided for information only. The Department does not warrant or guarantee in any way that the volumes are currently accurate or that they are stable or sustainable.
