You're a State DOT and you're wondering why you need ZOOM's Next Generation Rest Area Technology Platform in your state. You're saying "don't bother me" because...
- "I already don't have enough money to run my rest areas",
- "I don't have enough time in the day to handle the projects I already have",
- "It's not in our strategic plan and I don't see much use in it",
- "Our DOT would never go for advertising and sponsorship in our Rest Areas and isn't it against FHWA regs anyway?"
- and "I've got bigger problems than giving WiFi to travelers".
ZOOM would like to help you out with these answers...
Comment: "I already don't have enough money to run my rest areas".
A: ZOOM's Rest Area architecture includes a sponsorship and advertising business model that is a NET REVENUE POSITIVE for DOTs with a revenue sharing model that includes multiple income streams.
Comment: "I don't have enough time in the day to handle the projects I already have".
A: The entire ZOOM Next Generation Rest Area project is extremely self-contained and can be handled entirely by ZOOM with minimal DOT interfaces needed. ITS interfaces and backend data integration can usually be handled by ZOOM with minimal DOT assistance dependng on ITS infrastrucutre in place. Additionally, ZOOM's experience in multiple state procurements means that we can help vector you to other state RFPs and contacts to use as resources.
Comment: "It's not in our strategic plan and I don't see much use in it".
A: ZOOM multi-applicaiton approach means that our technology platform addresses many of the big problems DOTs have today including: Fleet Efficiency and Cost, Truck Parking, Emergency Management Communication, Highway Safety Congestion Mitigation and $$$$.
Comment: "Our DOT would never go for advertising and sponsorship in our Rest Areas and isn't it against FHWA regs anyway?"
A: Our advertising and sponsorship approach is currently operational in state contracts that we have and has been carefully and constantly measured against all federal and state regulations. Just as important, however, is the opinion of the traveler who does not like to be "advertised to" in a rest area. ZOOM is extremely careful to present imformation in the form of userful Traveler Information that motorists like, need and ask for.
Comment: "I've got bigger problems than giving WiFi to travelers".
A: The Next Generation Rest Area is much more than WiFi. ZOOM's multi-application technology platform presents solutions to many of the prolems facing DOTs today.
