Under exclusive contracts with State Departments of Transportation, ZOOM Informaton Systems has transformed Interstate rest-areas into communications & information hubs for visitors by providing Wireless Internet access and centrally located kiosks that contain“Traveler Information Centers" at each facility. ZOOM's rest-area Traveler Information Centers currently provide advertising campaigns for a variety of market sectors. Below is a partial listing of these client sectors:
- Lodging: Our lodging clients range from individual hotel proprieters to large hospitality management organizations.
- Dining
- Truck Stops
- Trucking Service Centers
- Convention & Visitor Bureaus/Chamber of Commerce organizations: Our CVB/Chamber clients represent cities ranging in size from 2,000-200,000.
- Non-Profit Tourism Based Organizations
- Attractions
This unique solution creates an intriguing & extremely cost-effective way for your business to reach out and connect with millions of rest-area visitors each year who are literally “right down the road”, many of which will be looking for a place to stay, dine, fill-up, shop or visit. With many travelers adopting the “Exit Bubble” mentality, meaning that they decide where to stop based on what they can see as they approach an exit, it is challenging for businesses that are “down the road” or “off the beaten path” to take advantage of the abundant Interstate traffic that flows by every day…..UNTIL NOW.
The ZOOM Traveler & Trucker Information Centers allow rest-area visitors to learn about your business BEFORE they approach your exit. They even have the capability to browse your Website where they could book a room, browse a menu, check out your promotions, AND obtain a map of how to find you, all from the rest-area. We have truly “evened the playing field” for all businesses that cater to travelers and truckers regardless of location.
Wireless Internet:
- Wireless Internet access is available throughout the entire rest area property, allowing visitors with Wi-Fi enabled laptops to access the Internet while parked in their vehicle.
- Before gaining access to the Internet users first view our Exit Guide which includes valuable traveler information on an upcoming exits map and billboard advertisements.

Kiosks:
- Each rest area is equipped with a centrally located kiosk or wall-unit which allows travelers to view our “Exit Guide” as well as public safety information (i.e. weather & road conditions).
- Travelers view your logo at the appropriate exit, and/or billboard ad, and click on your logo to view a custom promotion page for your business (i.e. specials, directions to your location).
