A -- CREATION AND OPERATION OF AN INTERNET PRESENCE ON THE WORLD WIDE WE B FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION BY THE I-95 CORRIDOR COALITION DUE 100695 POC Ms. Christine Cox, Administrative Manager (609)530-4278. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND - The I-95 Corridor Coalition is a coalition of 33 federal, state local and other transportation agencies formed to coordinate highway operations and implementation of intelligent transportation systems in the Northeast Corridor from Virginia to Maine. It is focused on a seamless, state-of-the-art, multi-modal transportation network benefitting both travelers and goods movement throughout the Northeast Corridor. Through communication and cooperation, this partnership serves as a clearinghouse for information regarding operational management and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) implementation, to promote mobility, safety, environmental quality and movement in the Corridor. For additional information about the Coalition, check the prototype home page at URL http://rpinfo.its.rpi.edu:80/~karola/ corridor.html. The I-95 Corridor Coalition is initiating a program to expand its current efforts of providing real time travel and static construction information to the general public through use of state-of-the-art technology, with one focus on the INTERNET. As the Coalition's programs enter the deployment stage, it has become increasingly important to explore other means to inform the general public of the availability of multi-modal travel information within the corridor. OBJECTIVES- The I-95 Corridor Coalition is seeking responses from organizations whose expertise can direct the most efficient use of the INTERNET through development of a web page. Our objective will be to expand the audience currently receiving travel condition information for highways, Amtrak and other modes to residents and travelers within the Northeast Corridor. Additionally, we are interested in potential use of the INTERNET to advance other Coalition projects, which are either currently underway or planned. We seek an approach which would minimize cost to the Coalition and provide potential opportunities for the development of public/private partnerships. REQUIREMENTS - The I-95 Corridor Coalition is subject to all applicable Federal and state laws and regulations where services will be provided. COSTS - he I-95 Corridor Coalition assumes no responsibility for costs incurred by vendors associated with the preparation of information in response to this request.
