CHK AMERICA TO DESIGN WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AREA MAPS AT ALL METRO RAIL STATIONS

Santa Barbara, CA (May 2009)

Following the redesign of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) System Map earlier this year, CHK has been retained by the agency to update the Neighborhood Maps at all MetroRail Stations.

The newly designed Area Maps, which will be located at each of Metro Rail’s 86 Stations, will assist arriving MetroRail passengers to determine helpful information including points of interest and road networks within a three-quarter mile area, plus bus services available from the station.

The Area Maps will reflect the style and functionality of the agency’s current passenger information including at-stop panels, station specific panels and all bus stops serviced by Metro Rail Stations.

The new contract was awarded to CHK following its initial contract to develop and design of stop specific map and service information for over 800 bus stops for Metrobus in WMATA’s 1500 square mile service area; and the design 125 station mezzanine maps and service information guides for Metrorail.

WMATA is the fourth largest transit agency in the USA.
