Lompoc Officials Review Automated Tourist Information Kiosk
City leaders led by Mayor Art Scott inspect the pilot tourist information kiosk at Gaviota Pass. The Caltrans Tourest project uses four pushbutton panels with screen displays to guide visitors to area attractions while 60 percent of panel space is sold to advertisers at eighty four dollars monthly. Described as a cooperative venture, the system aims to boost regional tourism and may expand to the northbound rest stop with cost feasibility studies underway.
